Small town in Ontario surrounded by nature is an outdoor adventurer's dream
Kearney lies 25 minutes north of beautiful Huntsville in the heart of cottage country and is known as Ontario's 'Biggest Little Town.'
It's surrounded by pristine lakes and lush forests making it an ideal retreat if you're looking to ditch your hectic Toronto lifestyle for a while.
A trip to Kearney offers some of the best outdoor activities around, including snowmobiling, fishing, hiking, boating, and ATVing.
With ample space and three access points to Algonquin Park, a vast and beautiful natural area offering endless opportunities for adventure, making it one of the top parks in Canada.
Whether you're into backcountry camping, canoeing, or hiking, Algonquin provides the perfect backdrop. The park's diverse wildlife and serene landscapes make it a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Kearney's charm lies in its expansive 528 square kilometres of land, contrasted by its small year-round population of just 974 people. This unique blend gives it the title of the 'Biggest Little Town in Ontario,' a place where the vast wilderness meets small town culture.
No visit to Kearney is complete without stopping by DJ's Bar and Grill inside the Kearney Legion Hall. This spot exudes small-town charm, offering classic Canadian staples like Fish & Chips, Steak & Eggs, Hot Hamburgers, and Roast Beef Dinners.
The aroma alone is enough to draw you in, and the friendly, welcoming atmosphere makes it a favourite among locals and visitors alike. If you're looking for a quintessential small-town dining experience, DJ's is the place to be.
Another local gem is The Pit Stop Cafe, another classic small-town eatery known for its hearty breakfasts and strong coffee. It's the way to start your day, with a menu that covers all your breakfast cravings. The relaxed vibe and friendly service make it a must-visit when you're in town.
While many people head to Kearney for a bit of roughing it, not everyone is cut out for backwoods camping. For those who prefer a bit more comfort, Sand Lake Cottages & Inn offers a beautiful lakefront property with winterized cottages.
This resort allows you to enjoy the wilderness of Ontario while being just a short drive from town's grocery stores and restaurants. The cottages are heated with wood stoves and gas-powered heating, for comfort in any season.
Kearney's blend of natural beauty and small-town charm makes it a standout destination in Ontario. From exploring Algonquin Park to enjoying local dining and cozy accommodations, there's something for everyone, in any season in this 'Big Little Town.'
