Travel Guide by Car
Coming from the United States, through Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan/Ontario border into Canada.  From there it is only 190 miles, about 3.5 to 4 hours.  There is one of three ways that you can travel: Hwy 17 east to Thessalon then north on Hwy 129 to Chapleau or

Hwy 17 west to Wawa, then Hwy 101 east to Chapleau; or

Hwy 17 west to Hwy 556 (Ranger Lake Road) to Hwy 129 north to Chapleau. (This route has about 50 miles of gravel, and is 1 hour shorter than the other two routes).  All routes are very scenic and I recommend that you travel one on the way in and another on the way home.

Coming from southern Ontario/Buffalo Boarder there are two different routes, directions from Sudbury are: Please refer to Hwy maps for directions to Sudbury Ontario

Go 80 km or 50 miles and turn west off of Sultan Road to Hwy 667 follow to Hwy 129 then north on Hwy 129 to Chapleau.  (This route has about 80 km 50 miles of gravel along the first part of the Sultan Road.  It is about one hour faster than Route 1.
Follow Hwy 129 to Hwy. 101 east.  Go 7 KM (3 miles) to Kanipahow Rd. and turn left. We are just past the 101 Gas Station.
