Northwest Ontario, Canada

Visit Sunset Country in Northwestern Ontario for the best in outdoor travel. Covering a 60,000 square mile area of the Canadian Province of Ontario, we offer some of Canada's finest freshwater fishing, hunting and outdoor adventure opportunities! Here the fish are abundant and the living is good. Our members offer vacation packages and trips that are a great value and a wonderful experience and we have been creating great memories for travelers for over 60 years.

Sunset Country is a BIG region where there are more lakes than people and where you can have a true wilderness experience. This is the place you've been looking for to get away from it all. Enjoy your favourite outdoor activity and revel in the beauty of what Canada's great outdoors has to offer you. Visit our unique communities, some of which are right at the end of the road whereas others cozy up to scenic lake and riversides.

Sunset Country is easily accessible from any place in North America. Located directly north of the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin, the main border entry point is only a 5 hour drive north of Minneapolis. You can also fly here from almost anywhere in the United States and Canada. Contact us and we'll be glad to offer you help planning your vacation. Sunset Country Travel Association and its members are dedicated to providing you that perfect vacation you've been looking for, full of excitement and adventure. If you want to fish for walleye, bass, northern pike, muskie or lake trout, then you have 70,000 fishing lakes to choose from. Our 389 plus members include Canadian lodges and resorts, fly-in fishing outposts, hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, houseboat rental operators, canoe outfitters and Ontario retail and service businesses that can meet your all your vacation needs.

Information for Americans about Passport requirementsWhether You are Driving or Flying:

Remember - June 2009: The U.S. Government is requiring all of its citizens to have a Passport or other WHTI compliant document to return to the United States from Canada. You can apply for your Passport at a U.S. Postal Service outlet.

Don't get caught at the last minute. Applications can take as long as three months to process so we encourage all our American friends to get on this ASAP.
