Local runs to Terrace Bay, Schreiber, or Manitouwadge along Highway 17 and 614 are quick day trips, while Marathon Airport (YSP) sits right in town for anyone flying in.

Worth knowing: the nearby Hemlo gold mine, discovered in the early 1980s, remains one of the richest gold finds in Canadian history and still anchors the local economy.
