Blind River
B
lind River is a stunning community located on
the world-renowned North Channel. It’s a unique
community with the benefit of the highway as well as
waterway gateways that lead you to art, history, recreation,
and a year-round welcoming attitude! The community is
home to a brand-new fully accessible lollipop trail that was
designed and created in partnership with Mississauga First
Nation. Blind River’s marine park, ice arena, visitor’s centre,
community beach, and downtown waterfront have all been
fully rejuvenated. These spaces are now beautiful and safe.
All people are welcome to wheel, cycle, walk, boat, fish,
and meditate. Maker’s Markets, monthly local activities, art
shows, exhibits, and weekly summer concerts welcome
tourists and locals to take pride in their community.
Blind River’s Downtown is ready for you to grab an ice
cream cone, craft supplies, get your photos taken, pick up
local maple syrup, get your hair cut, pick up a homestyle
lunch, or fill a prescription (either at the pharmacy or LCBO,
we won’t judge!), buy a bouquet of flowers, get a pedicure,
buy a just-because present, redo your will, have a beer,
check in with your accountant, snail-mail a love letter, or
grab baking supplies! If that list made you tired, take a seat
outside of our library and enjoy the bustle of downtown with
a coffee or fresh cinnamon bun. We aren’t bragging when
we say we have it all.

treats, and a stroller-friendly route await!
On November 1st, everyone is invited to bring their
Hallowe’en jack-o-lantern to the downtown accessible path.
