Getting Here

Making Owen Sound your destination is easy - we can be reached by car, airplane, bus, or boat. We are centrally located and are easily linked to the bustling metropolitan areas throughout Ontario and the Northern USA.

Owen Sound is easily accessible from provincial Highways 6 and 10 to the south and Highway 21 to the west. Coming from the east, County Road 26 hugs Georgian Bay and makes for a scenic drive to Owen Sound from the Collingwood area.

In terms of travel time, Owen Sound is about two hours from the GTA, three hours from the U.S. border (at Buffalo) and a little over two hours from the Kitchener-Waterloo area.

If travelling in winter, check the weather forecast and local road conditions ahead of time.
