Best Hotels in North Bay, ON

North Bay is the gateway to northeastern Ontario, sitting on the shores of Lake Nipissing between the Canadian Shield and the transition to the boreal forest. Nipissing University, the Canadian Forces Base North Bay (NORAD/CF), and a growing arts scene give the city more cultural depth than its modest size suggests.

Lake Nipissing itself is a world-class walleye and muskie fishing destination, and the city provides access to Algonquin Park (2 hours south), Temagami wilderness (1.5 hours north), and the vast northern Ontario boreal wilderness.
