Hearst
I
n the heart of Northern Ontario, and the boreal forest,
you will find the moose capital of Canada, Hearst.
Hearst is a town within the Cochrane District. It is located
on the Mattawishkwia River, approximately 92 km west of
Kapuskasing, and 520 km east of Thunder Bay along Hwy
11. Hearst is largely defined by its forestry sector and its
entrepreneurial spirit. Hearst is a 94% French-speaking
community but remains energized by the cultural richness
meshed with Oji-Cree and Euro-Canadian heritage.
With its abundance of parks and green spaces, this
charming community is a wonderful place to visit. Hearst is
known for its outdoor recreational opportunities, including
hiking, kayaking, fishing, hunting, and snowmobiling.
For those seeking an adrenaline rush, snowmobiling on
groomed trails during the winter month is a popular choice.
Hundreds of kilometres of groomed trails, allow Hearst to
remain one of the greatest snowmobile destinations. Come
enjoy the longest snowmobiling season in Ontario!
Culturally, the Conseil des Arts de Hearst is an organization
that supports and promotes the arts and culture in the
community by offering a diversity of artistic activities and
exhibits. The Écomusée de Hearst Ecomuseum showcases
the natural & cultural history of the area and a glimpse into
the lives of pioneers. Visit The Heritage Sawmill to learn
how the forest industry shaped the community.
