• There are some issues you may face if driving across the border into Canada from the United States, or if flying from another country. See the Travel tips below to help avoid any problems.

Traveling

PK Resorts is located near the small northern town of Hornepayne, Ontario. It is from our air base in Hornepayne that you will be flying in to each of our resorts. The map below will show you how to get to Hornepayne, which is about 250 miles north of the Canada-US border at Sault Ste. Marie.

While in Hornepayne, we recommend you visit the quaint local attractions of this lovely northern Canadian community, known as "The Home of the Three Bears" . You will be greeted by warm service and friendly smiles from the local citizens.

Crossing the Border

When driving across the border, to avoid any delays, we recommend the following travel information. Bring a birth certificate, driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance. Also, if your vehicle is borrowed, bring a letter of permission signed by the owner. Make sure each passenger has some form of photo ID and birth certificate, especially children. On some occasions, entry into Canada may be denied due to prior convictions. Also, handguns and radar detectors are illegal in Ontario. As a visitor to Ontario you're allowed to bring any reasonable supply of food and gas. For more information, check out Canada Border Services Agency.

Visitors 19 and over may import 1.1 liters (40oz) of liquor or wine or 24 (12oz) cans or bottles of beer; those 16 and over can bring 200 cigarettes (1 carton) into Canada.

It is illegal to take any type of live bait, except night crawlers, into Canada. In addition, night crawlers must be packed in some type of commercial bedding, NOT DIRT. Also, recently the importation of potatoes has been banned.

Visitors are strongly urged to obtain health insurance before leaving their home country. It is possible that your health insurance does not extend coverage outside your country or residence. If you're taking medicine, make sure you bring enough to last you in case the weather prevents you from flying out your departure date. In the event of an emergency, Hornepayne is equipped with its own hospital and Medi-Vac facility.

When purchasing goods or services on your way to PK Resorts, we recommend you pay in Canadian funds or credit card so you can receive the best exchange rate. Paying your final bill at Bingwood, Buck or Granite Hill can be done by cash, traveler's check, Master Card, or Visa.
