Township of Severn
Located just 90 minutes north of the GTA and easily accessed from major highways 400, 11 and 12, Severn is nestled in the northern corner of Simcoe County and is considered the gateway to the Canadian Shield.
Its sprawling network of trails, combined with pristine lakes and rivers have created an all-season destination for adventurers to explore, while festivals and events, boutique shops, dining establishments, and historic buildings offer something to interest almost everyone else. With a friendly and welcoming residential population spread across a series of charming
settlements, Severn is known as a community of communities—both a beloved escape and a place to call home for those who seek a balanced lifestyle.
