Backroad Attractions

With close to 10,000,000 km² (385,000,000 mi²) of land to explore, there is a lot see and do in Canada – you never know what you might come across while travelling across the country’s highways, rural roads and backroads. In fact, you can expect to encounter something unique around almost every corner. From the postcard-perfect lighthouses of the Maritimes to scenic drives along Ontario’s colonization roads, the roadside attractions and rural museums of Manitoba, ancient fossil sites in Alberta, the big trees and waterfalls of BC and beyond, Canada is chock full of natural and man-made attractions. That is why we pack as much information as possible into our maps about all the best things to see and do while road tripping across our great nation.

Our maps contain over 5,000 Backroad POIs (Points of Interest) you will encounter while travelling across Canada. This includes natural attractions such as waterfalls, big trees, geological formations and hot springs, plus man-made attractions such as museums, historical sites, ghost towns, lighthouses and more. Mapbooks, GPS Maps, the BRMB Maps App and Web Map include written descriptions of many of these POIs complete with information on access, the best time to visit, and contact info.
