Dryden Info
One of Ontario’s smallest cities, with a population of approximately 8100+, the City of Dryden enjoys the splendor of Wabigoon Lake and is a natural tourist destination. If you are visiting, Dryden is easily accessible from the east and west via the Transcanada Highway. Traveling by road our City is located at the terminus of Highway 502 from Fort Frances and a direct link from the United States (Minnesota).
Dryden is the dividing point for visitors and local traffic taking Highway 105 to the “Eagle” capital of Ear Falls, the “Norseman” capital of Red Lake, and to the northern lands of the Nishinawbe Aski Nation. We are the terminus for those traveling onwards to Sioux Lookout (home of the Blueberry Festival), Savant Lake, Pickle Lake, and to the Land & Communities of Treaty 9 via Highway 72 & Highway 599.
Regionally centered, we are east of Kenora on Lake of the Woods, Vermilion Bay (Township of Machin) on Eagle Lake; and west of Ignace on Agimac Lake and Wabigoon Ontario. Dryden is the Hub of Northwestern Ontario and we are pleased to extend to you this invitation to stop and enjoy the quality of life and the interesting sights and sounds that make Dryden a great place to live and visit.
