About Nipigon, ON

Nipigon sits where Highway 11 and Highway 17 split along Lake Superior's north shore, making it a natural stop for anyone driving the Trans-Canada between Thunder Bay, 114 km southwest, and towns like Terrace Bay or Marathon further east. The Thunder Bay airport is your closest air link, about 118 km away, with EV charging also concentrated there rather than in Nipigon itself. Worth knowing: the Nipigon River Bridge here is the single road link carrying all cross-Canada traffic, and its 2016 partial collapse briefly cut the country in two.
