By train
While less convenient, one can enter the county by train. There is only one train station in the county, at Casselman. However, getting from Casselman to the rest of the county is difficult. The nearest car rental store to the train station is Thrifty Car Rental at 821 Notre-Dame Street in Embrun. However, the taxi fare between Casselman and Embrun is about $35, so entering the county by train is not very convenient.
By car
Getting to Prescott-Russell by car is easy. Trans-Canada Highway 417 travels right across the county, with easy access to the South and Northeast from Highway 417.
Also, County Road 17 crosses the northern part of the county, which provides easy access to both the Northwest and the Northeast. County Road 17 continues off of County Road 174 in Ottawa and merges with Highway 417 about 6km east of Hawkesbury.
