Joly offers wide-open horizons, quiet roads, and a close-knit rural lifestyle with easy connections to everyday amenities. Residents enjoy quick trips to nearby hubs like Sundridge, South River, and Burk's Falls for shops, services, and community events, while Highway 11 puts commuting to North Bay within comfortable reach.
Outdoors time is a way of life here. Minutes from Joly, Ontario Parks’ Mikisew Provincial Park delivers sandy beaches, boat launches, and family-friendly campgrounds on Eagle Lake. Winter brings groomed corridors on the regional network maintained by the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs, and shoulder seasons are ideal for quiet hikes, paddles, and birding throughout the Almaguin Highlands. Summer traditions often revolve around Lake Bernard in Sundridge—celebrated for being one of the world’s largest freshwater lakes without an island—offering clear water, public beaches, and community regattas.
Families are served by the Near North District School Board, with busing to respected options such as Sundridge Centennial Public School and Almaguin Highlands Secondary School in the regional corridor. Weekends fill up quickly with farmers’ markets, local arena programming, and library events in neighboring villages, while Joly’s backroads and forested concessions create a peaceful home base for hobby farms, workshops, and stargazing.
