By Car
Take the 400 Highway north from Toronto. Barrie is 63 km away and has 5 highway exits. There is also a small airport on the north end of town which services light aircraft. Drivers leave Barrie at the junction of Highway 400 and Highway 11, and for many this interchange can be perceived as the beginning of Northern Ontario or the gateway to cottage country.
