Explore Northeastern Ontario

Big landscapes, bigger adventures—The Seven is where road trips stretch for miles, ancient paddling routes meander through pristine boreal forests, and hiking trails disappear into wild, untouched terrain. Cruise through the landscapes by car, RV, motorcycle or even on a snowmobile—or cycle quiet country roads and spot some wildlife. Whichever way you choose, there’s always more to discover.

Hiking

The Seven is home to some of the province’s best hiking. It’s all about discovering something new—the misty beauty of Bridal Veil Falls, the heart-pounding climb up the Cup and Saucer Trail, or that perfect backcountry path no one’s ever heard of. Thousands of kilometres of trails wind through forests, along lakes, and over rocky ridges, with no shortage of views, fresh air, and wild spaces. Go ahead. Enjoy.

Paddling

There’s something about paddling in Northeastern Ontario that just feels right. Maybe it’s the historic waterways—the French, the Mattawa, the Moose—or the way the landscape shifts from towering rock to quiet pine forests. Whether you’re running rapids or gliding across still waters, this is paddling country, and the only question is: where to first?

Downhill Skiing and Snowboarding

Winter in Northeastern Ontario doesn’t mess around. When the snow falls, the ski hills come alive, offering everything from beginner-friendly runs to fast, leg-burning descents. Our hills offer fresh powder, scenic views, and plenty of après-ski options. Whether you’re bombing down the slopes, just trying to stay on your feet, or warming up with a post-run poutine, a day on the slopes up here is always time well spent.
