Travel tips to Ignace


Access to Ignace Outposts’ base is quite simple. We are located just off the Trans-Canada Hwy in the town of Ignace, Ontario. Aside of a shortcut or hwy construction, your travel will be on paved road right to our driveway. If by chance you are delayed on route, please contact us by phone to let us know your new estimated time of arrival. It certainly helps in our planning to know when you plan to arrive. It is advisable that you contact us a few days before your departure from home to advise us of your arrival date and time and to ensure there are no surprises ahead. I hate to say it, but we’ve had guests show up on wrong dates simply because of travel plan mix-ups.


For most American visitors arriving by vehicle, the two most convenient border crossings are Pigeon River near Thunder Bay and Fort Frances/International Falls. From Duluth, Minn, it is a 6 hour drive to Ignace either way.



A few considerations if you are traveling from the USA.


IT IS THE LAW IN ONTARIO TO WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS.



RADAR DETECTORS ARE ILLEGAL


CELL PHONES DO NOT ALWAYS WORK IN OUR AREA - You leave coverage near Thunder Bay or Fort Frances. There is a small area of coverage near Dryden and Ignace.
