Callander is located along Highway 11, in close proximity to Highway 17, air, bus and rail transit. This strategic location makes the community well-connected and easily accessible. Driving to downtown North Bay takes less than 20 minutes. Toronto and Ottawa are within a four-hour drive.
Nearby Jack Garland Airport in North Bay provides domestic and international air travel and freight, while Ontario Northland offers motor coach transportation. Destinations include cities throughout Canada and the United States, accessible via Toronto, Ottawa and Sudbury.
The Municipality is part of Trans Canada Trail, the longest recreational trail in the world. Visitors and residents enjoy boundless offerings of opportunities for exploration and active living, including by bike, foot, snowmobile and ATV. In the summer, Callander’s location on Lake Nipissing and free day-time mooring at the municipal dock, are just some of the reasons that make the community a popular destination by boat.
