Wade is an unincorporated place and railway point in Unorganized Kenora District in northwestern Ontario, Canada.[1]

It lies on the Canadian National Railway transcontinental main line,[2] between Ottermere to the west and Minaki to the east, has a passing track, and is passed but not served by Via Rail transcontinental Canadian trains.

Many cottagers use Wade as a destination to get to their cottages on the adjacent Fox Lake. Cottagers have an organized association that ensures good relations and insurance for crossing the rail line.
