About Atikokan, ON

Atikokan sits on Highway 11 between Thunder Bay and Fort Forces, a long haul either way given how spread out this part of northwestern Ontario is. Most folks passing through are headed to or from Quetico Provincial Park, since Atikokan bills itself as the Canoeing Capital of Canada and is the main jumping-off point for canoe trips into the park. Gas up before you go, as stations thin out fast along this stretch, and EV drivers should charge up beforehand since options in town are limited. The town's own Atikokan Municipal Airport (YIB) handles small local flights.
