Blind River
B
lind River is a stunning community located on the worldrenowned North Channel. It’s a unique community with
the benefit of highway as well as waterway gateways that lead
you to art, history, recreation, and a year-round welcoming
attitude!
We have affordable business spaces and land to build an
affordable dream home. If you think access to fresh water,
clean beaches, or cottages is only for those who are wealthy,
think again. Be spoiled by endless lakes and beaches you
can enjoy on your schedule. Say goodbye to endless noise
and congested spaces, and hello to the northern lights and
shooting stars.
Our community is filled with year-round fishing, hiking, skiing,
cycling (bring your snow tires to train off-season!), ATV areas,
and snowmobile trails for endless stretches.
Our Downtown is ready for you to grab an ice cream cone, get
your photos taken, pick up new amazing eyewear, get your
hair cut, pick up a homestyle lunch, fill a prescription (either
at the pharmacy or LCBO, we won’t judge!), buy a bouquet
of flowers, get a pedicure, buy a just-because present, redo
your will, have a beer, check in with your accountant, snailmail a love letter, or grab baking supplies! If that list made you
tired, take a seat outside of our library and enjoy the bustle of
downtown with a coffee.
