Directions to the Hermitage

We are on Hiway #593 which is a sideroad off Ontario Highway 61 near the Minnesota border. The closest city is Thunder Bay, Ontario. Instructions for reaching the Centre:

From Thunder Bay: Starting at the west end of Arthur St, follow Highway 61 south toward the American border; turn right onto Highway 593 (the Devon Road.) Stay on 593, following the Devon Road approx 20 km - (as a landmark, the center is about 5 km past the Pardee Road turnoff.) If you cross a bridge you have gone 5 km too far. [map]

From Toronto: Quickest route is via Thunder Bay. Follow Highway 11-17 (the Trans-Canada) through the city and continue on to Highway 61 (at the top of Arthur St), see directions from Thunder Bay.

From Winnipeg and points west: Follow Highway 11-17 until just east of Kakabeka Falls and turn right onto Highway 588. Turn onto Highway 593 at Silver Mountain. The center is about 30 km south. It is 5 km past the third bridge you will cross, if you come to the Pardee Road turnoff you have gone 5 km too far.

From the USA: Follow US 61 North from Duluth. This becomes Ontario 61 at the border. Turn left on to the Devon Road (Highway 593) which is the first side road after the border. See directions from Thunder Bay.

You can't miss us! Look for a big open field with a log cabin and a wind turbine mast. (About half-way up 593, on your right if you are driving north from Highway 61). Watch for the Arrow River sign in the field. The driveway is about a hundred yards further north.

IMPORTANT NOTE - if you are driving here, there is no place to get gasoline after Thunder Bay.
