Location...Orillia is located at the centre of Southern Ontario, is only 115 km (71 miles) north of Toronto. Access is provided by two major highways. Highway 400-11, from Toronto to North Bay, and Highway 12 (Trans-Canada) from Oshawa.

The City of Orillia can be found nestled in the heart of Ontario's Lake Country. We are very fortunate to be located on the shores of two beautiful and plentiful natural resources, Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching.

The public spaces around the city have been designed or have evolved to take advantage of the natural and tranquil splendor of the lakes. Boat launches, sandy beaches, clean parks, historic monuments and even a miniature train ride compliment the beauty of our waterfront spaces. The Port of Orillia provides our marine visitors with docking and launching facilities all within a stroll from downtown shopping and dining.

From Canada's premier national historic site, the Stephen Leacock Museum to the charm of Orillia's Downtown to the lazy beaches of Couchiching Park visitors can experience Orillia via a 9.5 km paved trail. The trail system through our community is a true asset and a healthy way to enjoy the scenery. Enjoy the architectural heritage and charm of our downtown district as you shop and dine.
