Kerns offers wide-open skies, quiet concession roads, and a down-to-earth rural rhythm, with everyday essentials and larger-city conveniences close at hand in Temiskaming Shores. Family farms and hobby acreages define the landscape, while local staples like the award-winning Thornloe Cheese make Saturday errands feel like a treat. Commuters appreciate straightforward drives to Englehart, Cobalt, and even Kirkland Lake, expanding options for work, shopping, and services without giving up country calm.
Outdoor enthusiasts have year-round choices. Birders and families flock to the Hilliardton Marsh Research and Education Centre for migration banding demos and hands-on nature programming. A short hop brings you to Kap-Kig-Iwan Provincial Park, where the Englehart River tumbles through a dramatic gorge—spectacular in spring runoff and peaceful for summer picnics. In winter, skiers carve turns at the community-run Tri-Town Ski & Snowboard Village, while snowmobilers enjoy an extensive regional trail network.
Families value practical supports. Public schooling is delivered through the District School Board Ontario North East, with French-language and Catholic options available in nearby communities. For healthcare, residents rely on full-service care at Temiskaming Hospital in New Liskeard, along with local clinics and paramedic services. Housing ranges from century farmsteads to newer country builds, typically offering generous lots, workshops, and room for gardens, toys, and four-season hobbies.
