There are only a few great rail excursions left in the world and this is one of them…the Polar Bear Express.
Cochrane, where the Trans Canada Highway turns west, is the summer home of the Polar Bear Express and the departure point for this incredible 186-mile journey north to Moosonee. You’ll travel along the Arctic Watershed crossing historic rivers like the Abitibi and Moose, once the highways of the fur trade. The Polar Bear Express will take you to a sparsely populated land of forests, tranquil lakes, and muskeg. A land living in near isolation from the rest of the world.

There are also beaches, riding stables, a riding train (great for the kids), a carousel, birdland trails, antique and craft shops, and three golf courses all nearby our cottages.
