Ontario’s
Roads North to Central and Northern Ontario
Visitors to 400Eleven are assured that our member properties, attractions,
events and festivals are all north of Toronto heading in a north, northwesterly
or northeasterly direction. Visitors who use the 400Eleven web site can
be assured they will find only Northern
Ontario and rural experiences with some of the best valued vacation
packages in the Province of Ontario.
Thanks to John Graves Simcoe, Ontario
actually has a very logical set of routes crossing the Province from north
to south, and east to west. We can also thank Lord Simcoe for the Civic
Long Weekend Holiday on the first Monday in August.
The primary travel routes going north from Toronto into cottage country
are the Highway 400 and Highway 11 corridors, including highway 404 which
takes you to the East side of Lake Simcoe. The Toronto-Barrie Highway
400 is the traditional travel highway north into cottage country, central
Ontario, and Northern Ontario.
In reality when leaving Toronto and preceding east you have already started
heading north as most or the travelers into Ontario’s Cottage Country
know. The major highways into northern or north Eastern Ontario are Highway
35 to the Kawarthas, Haliburton, Central Ontario, and Algonquin Park,
Highway 115, and Highway 7. Highway 7 runs all the way to Ottawa, one
of the world’s most Northern capitals.
The 407 electronic toll highway takes southern Ontario residents in a
North East direction towards the north end of the Greater Toronto Area
(GTA), and closer to cottage country via Highway 400 or the 404 Highway.
When proceeding west out of Toronto, you are actually proceeding south
towards Lake Ontario and the American Border, unless again you are traveling
on one of the north west routes of Highway 7, Highway 9, Highway 89, or
Highway 26 all leading in a north westerly direction. Highway 7 actually
becomes a county road going west leading to Lake Huron.
Most of the above north west highways will cross Highways 10, Airport
Road, Highway 6, all providing a more northerly route into the Collingwood,
Bruce Peninsula areas of the Province.
You will find various off the main road recommendations for touring
routes the province during the fall colour season, and at various
times of year depending on events or festivals taking place in the Province.
