West Nipissing/Sturgeon Falls is perhaps the best example of Northern hospitality that you might find in Ontario. These are people that are used to welcoming others, as many people have made these lands home over the years. If you were to ask one of them what they love about their community, they’d likely say that the community is a rich tapestry of diverse cultures (with Franco-Ontarian and Anishnabek influences readily apparent), that is respectful of all peoples that have come before and after, as well as the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding area.Â
West Nipissing/Sturgeon Falls is a year-round outdoor paradise. Swimming and sailing are popular pastimes in this community, and there are few lakes that match the majesty and beauty of Lake Nipissing. One of the largest lakes in Ontario that isn’t a Great Lake, Lake Nipissing is also home to over 40 different species of fish, so anglers will feel well at home in West Nipissing/Sturgeon Falls. If you like to spend your days on the links, you’ll want to visit the Laurentide Golf Club, with immaculately kept greens, rolling fairways of bluegrass and a beautiful view of the Sturgeon River. The Duchesnay Falls Nature Trails are a short drive east, in North Bay, and offer waterfall drops up to 15 feet high. Be careful not to fall in, as you can trace every inch of waterfall simply by walking along the trail. As for the winter, there are endless trails to enjoy snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling. For a more curated experience, check out the West Nipissing Nordic Ski Club, which offers 13km of groomed and tracked cross-country ski trails, and 12km of snow-packed snowshoeing trails. Take a load off in the heated chalet after your ski!
The outdoor experience extends to the wide variety of culinary options in West Nipissing and Sturgeon Falls. Enjoy a freshly-roasted coffee on the deck at Twiggs Coffee Roasters as you overlook Minnehaha Bay, and watch the boats launch down the river towards the lake. Or enjoy a fries and gravy from the myriad of authentic chip stands as you walk along Main Street and take in the sights and sounds of the vibrant downtown. If you’re tired from all of your fun outdoor activities, you’re always welcome at McMakens for a home cooked meal and a crisp pint, or glass of wine.Â
