Mountain Home Lodge

Mountain Home Lodge offers a wonderful vacation experience that everyone will enjoy. We are located in Marten River on beautiful Red Cedar Lake, 45 minutes north of North Bay. Our 1 to 4 bedroom clean and comfortable cottages are well equipped with all the comforts of home. For those that love to fish, Red Cedar Lake offers pickerel/walleye, northern pike, small mouth bass, and perch. It is one of the most prolific lakes in the area. Red Cedar Lake still remains a true Northern fishing paradise with 100 miles of shoreline and provides the photographer with ample opportunities, from the soaring bald eagle to the flora and fauna. For the ATV enthusiast the area boasts many miles of old logging and bush trails. If you would like more information about our lodge, please do not hesitate to contact us. We would love to hear from you.Come relax in the quiet wild with us!!!

Our only vacation for the past 6 years has been at Mountain home Lodge - we started going up for one week, then two weeks, then three weeks and this year we booked 5 weeks throughout the summer - cannot think of a better place to spend time if your like the north. Gord and Kathy are the best hosts that we have had and we have been fishing all around the north for 25 years. They will do everything they can to make your stay a great time. Thanks guys for all you do.

Canadian Polar Bear Habitat

There is no other place in the world like the Canadian Polar Bear Habitat. It offers the most space in the world for polar bears in human care, all while providing unique research opportunities for polar bear specialists. The Habitat is currently home to Ganuk, Henry, Inukshuk, and Eddy, who could not survive without human help. These four bears have 24 acres of pristine, subarctic and boreal terrain to roam, including a 10-acre lake. The best time to see the bears is usually in the mornings when they are at their most active. Since the bears have as much control over their environment as possible, they choose when and where to eat, swim, sleep, or explore. You may have to be patient to get the best views, but they’re worth it. The Habitat offers daily talks with Animal Care Staff to provide guests a chance to speak one-on-one with the people who take care of the bears. While you-re on-campus, check out the Heritage Village (seasonal), the Snowmobile Museum, and the Gift Shop.

Saw the bears being fed and playing with enrichment toys. All the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and answered all our questions. Cute little village with antiques as well. Learned a lot! Worth the drive.

Misery Bay Provincial Nature Reserve

Reviewed By nickelcitygirl - Sudbury, Canada

This is a day use only park; there is no camping available. The website indicated that the Visitor Centre would be open weekends in May and June and all week during July and August, but just a heads up that this was not the case during our visit. The Visitor Centre was closed when we were there, and the washrooms were closed as well (the sign indicated that they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday). Pack whatever you need to eat or drink, as there were no options to purchase anything. Also note that there are no garbage cans, so you bring out whatever you take in. There is a very nominal fee; the most expensive walk in fee is $2 for an adult 18+. There was some flooding when we visited, so not all of the trails were available. We did the Inland Alvar trail, which is about a 5 km loop. There were a few spots where you are by the water (Misery Bay and Lake Huron). The water was so clear! It's an easy walk and the trail is well marked. If you want to be along the water for a long stretch, it looks like the 8 km Coastal Alvar trail follows Lake Huron for about 3 1/2 km. Definitely worth a visit!

Chutes Provincial Park

Reviewed By womanseyeview - Barrie, Canada

Driving between Sudbury and Sault St Marie this was meant to be a simple stop to stretch our legs - what a lovely surprise to find it provided a good hike! The campground looked amazing too - we’ll spaced lots and so well maintained. The rapids, falls and well groomed walking trails were a delight. Very clean washrooms.
