Cochrane, Ontario Hotels

Cochrane, Ontario Hotels
Cochrane, located approximately seven hours north of Toronto, is one of the northernmost outposts in eastern Ontario that is accessible via Canada's highway system. Cochrane is the origin of the Polar Bear Express rail excursions, which head north into the wilderness. It is also home to the Polar Bear Habitat and Heritage Center, where visitors can swim with polar bears, separated only by sturdy Plexiglas. Given its remote location, Cochrane also draws those looking to canoe, kayak, hike or cross-country ski in the wilderness.
