Situated on the shores of Bay Lake and at a bend in the majestic Montreal River, we are uniquely located with pristine water on three sides of Latchford. While our residents are few, the one thing we have in abundance is natural beauty and it surrounds us in all seasons.

We are equally proud of our colourful history. A history that not only incorporates our lumbering past but that of being a major transportation centre as well as a supply point for water access mining sites. Elk Lake received its supplies on large river boats from the “Port of Latchford” until 1912 and the famous inventor Thomas Edison had a mine across the lake from town.

Wildlife abounds in the surrounding transitional forest and sport fishing still provides ample rewards for those who pursue it both in Bay Lake and the Montreal River as well as the countless other lakes accessed from here.

Regardless of reason, make it a point to visit Latchford because you can be assured you will be genuinely welcome!
