Where is the Almaguin Highlands region?
The Almaguin Highlands is located on the western slope of the Algonquin Dome, at the southern reaches of the Canadian Shield and the Northern reaches of the Carolinian Forest. It is an un-crowded, natural area abundant in lakes, rivers, hills and mixed forests.
Highway 11 is the main artery running through the region, with Muskoka immediately to our south, and North Bay capping us in the north. To our west is Parry Sound and Georgian Bay; to our east is world-famous Algonquin Park.
About 2.5 hours from Toronto, 3 hours from Sudbury, and 4 hours from Ottawa; we are close enough for a short escape, yet far enough to really get away from it all!
