While visiting Toronto a week ago, I had the opportunity to go visit my cousin in Elliot Lake. The drive was about 5.5 hours, and both days were very sunny so there were no problems on the road. Elliot Lake is a small town of roughly 3000 people. It's a small and charming community. I am hoping to go back there in the summer to relax on the beaches and swim in the lakes. Very nice area.
