About Moosonee, ON

Moosonee is one of the few towns in Ontario you can't actually drive all the way to. Head north on Highway 11 to Cochrane, then hop the Polar Bear Express train for the final stretch along the Moose River to James Bay, since no permanent road covers that last leg. A winter ice road sometimes connects Moosonee to Moose Factory when conditions allow, but locals mostly get around by boat or canoe otherwise. Moosonee Airport (YMO) sits just 3 km from town and offers a backup way in when the rail line is down. The town got its start in 1903 as a railway terminus, and that rail history still shapes daily life here.
