Ontario Sights & Attractions
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Sights & Attractions in Ontario, Canada.
The Sights of Ontario
Ontario contains the largest population of all the Canadian provinces, following second in area after Quebec. Together the province’s seven regions offer upbeat urban culture complemented by pristine natural wilderness. Whether in search of lush forests, clear lakes or a bustling cosmopolitan city, Ontario’s many sights and attractions offer it all.
NORTHERN ONTARIO
The region known as Northern Ontario contains 90 per cent of the province’s land yet only a small fraction of the population. There are nine cities in the northern region with Sudbury dominating northeastern Ontario and Thunder Bay the northwest. Providing a beautiful place to escape the big-city hustle and bustle and explore the natural world, Ontario’s north offers numerous landscapes with a variety of exquisite views. At the north end of Lake Superior, hikers can explore the rugged coastline of the world’s largest fresh-water lake and experience the fur-trading days at Fort William Historical Park's reconstructed trading post.
Country-music lovers should check out the Shania Twain Centre in the city of Timmins, where the country superstar grew up. If in need of silence after being bombarded by country tunes, brave tourists can descend 60 m (200 ft) below ground on the Timmins Gold Mine Tour.
CENTRAL ONTARIO
Located between Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay, central Ontario is a haven of beauty featuring sandy beaches and splendid fresh-water lakes. Containing Algonquin Provincial Park, the area is frequently referred to as Ontario’s cottage country as many city folks head up here to relax and enjoy the warm weather during summer.
