Bonfield balances quiet, small-town living with easy connections to bigger amenities, set along the Highway 17 corridor between North Bay and Mattawa in Nipissing. Residents enjoy everyday conveniences through the Township’s services at the Township of Bonfield and spend weekends on the water at Lake Nosbonsing or exploring the Kaibuskong River. The area’s scenery draws anglers, paddlers, and photographers year-round, and winter brings postcard snowfalls that turn local trails into a playground.
Outdoor lovers have remarkable options nearby. Ontario Parks’ Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park offers beaches, canoe routes, and a discovery center chronicling voyageurs on the Mattawa River.
