Hi
Please can you tell me the best 'family friendly' route to Timmins and Cochrane. We are thinking of travelling up there for the Thanksgiving weekend.
Otherwise in the Christmas break - If this is even possable with the weather. We are interested in seeing and doing most things! We do know it is a long way and no where near Quebec!!!
Thanks
Hi OakvilleButtercup;
By "family friendly route" do you mean you are looking for driving directions or are you asking about public transportation options ?
Best Regards
I would head up to Barrie on the 400 - from there, you basically have 2 choices. Highway 11 through North Bay or continue on the 400 to Parry Sound then 69 to Sudbury, then onto 144 to Timmins and then Cochrane. I think I would head up through North Bay and continue up 11 - Timmins is a short detour from 11 on 101, but 11 is an easier more direct drive IMO. I haven't been up 144 in a long time, so I can't comment on quality if the roads. HWY 11 probably has more roadside stops and restaurants along the way than 144, but as I previously said I haven't been up that road for some time so things could be different now.
