Cochrane occupies a low-lying position beside the Abitibi River in northeastern Ontario. The town is an important northern rail hub: Ontario Northland’s Polar Bear Express departs from here for Moosonee, linking road-accessible Cochrane with communities near James Bay. Its best-known local institution is the Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat, a specialised home for polar bears. Highway 11, part of the Trans-Canada Highway system, runs through town, placing it on the long east–west route across Ontario’s north.
