In Elliot Lake life is active! With countless lakes and rivers just minutes from your doorstep, there is easy access to canoe routes and an abundance of opportunities for boating, fishing, kayaking and hiking. Elliot Lake is home to Stone Ridge at Elliot Lake, an 18 hole championship golf course and Mount Dufour, a downhill ski area along with cross country ski trail systems, snowmobile and ATV trails systems.  Situated directly in the community are two beautiful beaches, a tennis club, a curling club, fitness centers, and an indoor municipal swimming pool.

 

Elliot Lake has a vibrant arts community representing many aspects of the arts including visual arts, music, dance, theatre, cultural sponsorships, and public service. The local Arts Council has some 30 groups under its umbrella. Located in the Lester B. Pearson Civic Centre are several facilities including a potter’s studio, an art room with floor looms, a tapestry loom, printmaking and stained glass equipment as well as space for painting. Workshops in various media are also available. Many local artists also work from their own studio, however, these individuals most often participate in the public shows and events, as well as exhibiting in out-of-town shows and galleries.

 

The highly successful Elliot Lake Entertainment Series is the foremost presenter of performing arts in the community. This organization sponsors Canadian performers and offers a series of four or more shows per season.
