The Government of Ontario announced plans in 2021 to restore service using ONR from this station north to either Timmins or Cochrane by the mid-2020s.[4] Since the original station building has been repurposed for other uses, a new heated passenger shelter will be constructed on the site between 2024–2026 in preparation for ONR resuming Northlander passenger service in the mid-2020s.[2]

The Muskoka Rails Museum is now housed in the original station building.[5] The south building has a coffee shop[6] and veterinary services.[7]
