Where Is Nottawa, Ontario in 2026? Complete Location Guide: 3 Ways to Get There + Nearby Landmarks

Introduction: Confirm Three Things Before You Start Looking at a Map

Before you type "Nottawa" into Google Maps, there are really three things you need to figure out: which administrative region it belongs to, which city you're starting from, and whether you have a car.

If you don't think through these three questions first, it's easy to end up searching for a place with the same name or accidentally heading to neighboring Collingwood.

Here's the bottom line: Nottawa is located in southern Ontario, Canada, and is a small village under the jurisdiction of Clearview Township, just south of Collingwood along Highway 24.

Below, we'll break down the location, transportation, and nearby landmarks.

Where Exactly Is Nottawa? One-Sentence Location

Nottawa is not an independent municipality but a village within Clearview Township.

Clearview Township belongs to Simcoe County, and Simcoe County is located in southern Ontario, north of Toronto.

From a tourism perspective, it's easier to understand: it's south of Collingwood, between Blue Mountain and Wasaga Beach.

In other words, if you already know where Collingwood is, Nottawa is just a short distance directly south of it.

Locating by Coordinates and Time Zone

If you need to enter it into navigation or use it for data tagging, the satellite coordinates are 44°27'18"N, 80°12'25"W.

The time zone is Eastern Time, which in practice means EST/EDT, synchronized with New York and Toronto.

The local currency is the Canadian dollar (CAD).

Within a 100-kilometer radius, there are over 1,200 towns and villages, and one of the nearest neighboring locations is Batteaux, Ontario.

How to Choose Among Three Ways to Get There

Option 1: Drive via Highway 24 (Most Direct)

Driving is the most straightforward option. From Collingwood, head south on Highway 24 and you'll soon enter Nottawa.

If you're coming from Toronto, just think "head north to Collingwood, then cut a little south."

Keep in mind that supply points along this route are concentrated around Collingwood and Stayner, so it's safer to fill up on gas before entering the village.

Option 2: Bike or Short Trip from Collingwood

Nottawa and Collingwood are very close, and the relative distances to nearby landmarks can serve as a reference: Collingwood Collegiate Institute is about 3 km north of Nottawa, and Our Lady of the Bay Catholic High School is about 3.5 km north.

That means from the southern edge of downtown Collingwood, it's a distance you could consider biking or taking a short shuttle.

However, this area has rural road conditions, and shoulder conditions and traffic vary by season, so it's advisable to check your route before heading out.

Option 3: Public Transit (Limited Information, Verify First)

According to currently available third-party information, there is no clear scheduled bus route that directly reaches Nottawa.

If you don't have a car, it's recommended to use Collingwood as a transfer point and arrange a shuttle from there. Actual schedules are subject to announcements by local transportation authorities.

Nearby Landmark Distances at a Glance

The most effective way to determine "where it is" is actually to see what it's close to.

• Collingwood Airport: about 4 km east of Nottawa.
• Collingwood Collegiate Institute: about 3 km north, a public high school in Collingwood.
• Our Lady of the Bay Catholic High School: about 3.5 km north, managed by the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board.
• Nearby settlements also include Creekside, Georgian Meadows, Batteaux, Duntroon, Stayner, Bowers Beach, Castle Glen Estates, and others.

Additionally, map services describe this village as "a lovely little village with a river running through it," which also illustrates its scale: it's small itself but surrounded by several major outdoor and resort destinations in southern Ontario.

Things to Note Before Visiting

First, it's a village, not a city, so don't expect full urban amenities. For shopping, lodging, and gas, it's more reliable to arrange those in Collingwood or Stayner.

Second, the time zone is Eastern Time. If you're coming from Taiwan, remember to convert times for your itinerary reminders so you don't mix up meeting times.

Third, this area is rural Simcoe County, and signal and road conditions can be affected by the season, especially in winter when you should check road conditions first.

Fourth, if you're going for work, such as visiting clients in the Collingwood area or attending in-person meetings, it's advisable to handle your itinerary and meeting notes separately rather than relying solely on phone memos.

For Business Trips: How to Handle Meeting Notes

If your trip isn't purely for tourism but involves visiting clients, conducting interviews, or attending project meetings, consider using a tool to capture the process.

Tinrec is an AI meeting notes and collaboration tool for individuals and teams. It supports real-time audio-to-text transcription, audio/video file import, and can capture computer system audio directly on the desktop version, handling online meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and others without needing to invite an extra meeting bot.

After transcription, it generates summaries, chapters, key points, and action items, and supports AI Q&A around meeting content, real-time translation, and multi-format export.

For teams, the Team version provides a separate team space where meeting data belongs to the team, with management capabilities including members, roles, seats, usage analytics, audit logs, and an audio recycle bin. Pay special attention to the difference between roles and seats: members who are active but have no seat can still view, play, and read team data but cannot upload, edit, or export.

Currently, the internal product terms for the Team version are: a 7-day trial for first-time eligible teams, 1 free seat, 300 minutes of team shared import quota; team monthly billing at USD 29.80 per paid seat per month, annual billing at USD 199 per paid seat per year (equivalent to about USD 16.58 per month), with each paid seat providing 2,000 minutes of team shared import quota per month. Real-time recording is currently not deducted by minutes under active plans and active seats, while file and web imports consume the team shared quota.
