Huntsville station is located in the town of Huntsville, Ontario.

It was a station stop for Northlander trains of Ontario Northland. However the station is no longer in use since the cessation of the Northlander passenger service in 2012.

In 2021 the Government of Ontario announced plans to restore service using ONR from this station north to either Timminis or Cochrane by the mid 2020s.[2]

Ontario Northland services the community with motorcoach, however they do not use the original train station for passengers. The Huntsville Yard and freight shed next to the station is still in use by CN Rail.

Huntsville is in the heart of Muskoka, known to Torontonians as "cottage country".
