Flights from Windsor to Timmins

Chill out up north

Fly from Windsor to Timmins, where just outside of the city, snowmobile trails and clear lakes await. In the town of Cochrane, the birthplace of Tim Horton, you’ll find endless amounts of untouched wilderness.

Snuggle up to Cochrane’s most popular attraction, the Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat. Here, you can watch the playful polar bears interact with expert zookeepers, who happily teach visitors more about these amazing mammals.

You can also take a dip alongside the polar bears. Dive into the pool next to the habitat pool (separated by thick shatterproof glass), for a one-of-a-kind experience that animal lovers of all ages will never forget.

The story of these arctic mammals is sure to warm your heart. The Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat is more than just a zoo. The organization is well known for its tireless efforts in providing homes for orphaned and rescued polar bears. The Polar Bear Habitat is also a centre for research and education.

Right next to the habitat is the Heritage Village. This small area is a replica of an early 1900s settlement, complete with a general store, fire station, school, trapper’s cabin, and an operating snack shack. Have a stroll through the area or hop aboard the mini-train for a fun ride around the village.

At the nearby Snowmobile Museum, you can stop in to learn about the history of another popular mode of transportation. The museum proudly displays snowmobiles dating all the way back to the 1950s. Cochrane locals love snowmobiling and you’ll have plenty of chances to speed through the snow on the kilometres of trails within and around the town.

The quiet town of Cochrane is an excellent place for escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. If you want to extend your stay, indulge in some true north style accommodations at a range of cozy and luxurious log cabins around the area.

Fly from Windsor to Timmins for a good time in the quiet northern town of Cochrane.

Wild backcountry adventures

Lady Evelyn’s expanses offer gallons of swimming opportunities in both shallow and deep waters. Every year, thousands of visitors are drawn to the area’s mix of backcountry wilderness,  collection of cascading falls, and serene landscapes characterized by towering white and red pine forests.

Lady Evelyn is most famous for being one of Ontario’s top paddling destinations. Here, experienced canoers can test their endurance and portaging skills while alternating between smooth waters, challenging drops, and rushing rapids.

From its location in the Temagami Region, the park is connected to over 2000 km of historic canoe routes.
