Abandoned in Grey County.

On Grey County Rd 31 sits an abandoned farmhouse. As far as I can find, its been abandoned since the 70s.

The floors are rotted through and back had fallen down, it is not safe to enter

Abandoned faith.

About an hour north of Sault Ste. Marie in Searchmont ON, lies St. Hobart's Catholic Church.

Most of the community is a ghost town and the Church has been abandoned for decades.

No Rest on Highway 17.

Ontario's northern roads are littered with abandoned motels. This one about an hour north of Sault Ste. Marie has sat abandoned for years.

It has however as of summer 2025 begun renovations.

Abandoned joy.

In Springwater Township, north of Wasaga Beach lies an abandoned drive-in theatre.

A classic memento of motordom's heyday lies in forgotten and in ruins.

Abandoned in Transit.

Staying in Searchmont, as town was abandoned so was train station. Service ended in 1994 but trains on Algoma Central continued to pass thru until 2014 when passenger service ended

Gloria's inglorious Motel.

On the shore of Dunc Lake on HWY17 about 4 hours south of Thunder Bay lies Gloria's Motel.

Left to decay for about decade, as of Sept 2025 all that left is a sign.

Skeletons on the ice road.

Some 250km north of Red Lake, ON at the end of the paved highway system, begin the ice roads.

Along the ice road lie its victims. In this case a 70s pick-up left to rust into the landscape

By 2024, when these images were taken. The motel & out buildings had been set a flame at some point.

And by summer 2025 all that remained was the highway sign and some memories of a remote Northern Ontario motel.

Abandoned Military Installations of Ontario - Paul Ozorak. I found this on ebay. Self-published 1991. People looking for places to explore would like to find this book, but the price is very high. How about a reprint? www.ebay.com/itm/38967015... #OntarioHistory #MilitaryHistory #AbandonedOntario
