About French River / Rivière des Français, ON

French River sits right on Highway 69 between Sudbury (81 km) and Parry Sound (126 km), an easy detour for anyone road-tripping through cottage country. Locals make the quick 29 km run to St.-Charles for errands, while longer hauls connect to Sudbury Airport (96 km) or North Bay's Jack Garland Airport (118 km) for those flying in and renting a car. The area takes its name from the French River, once a key voyageur route to Georgian Bay. EV chargers have popped up along this stretch of 69 in recent years. Worth a stop: the French River Trading Post, an old canoe outfitter marking the river crossing since the early 1900s.
