Located in Ontario's Haliburton Hills , part of the Canadian Shield, Bancroft is well known in Canada as an excellent location for rock hunting . It is sometimes called the "mineral capital of Canada".

Bancroft is served by a small airport, CNW3, with a 2,200 foot (670 meter) crushed gravel runway, located immediately adjoining the town. The airport is operated by the Bancroft Flying Club and is freely available to the general public. Due to high terrain near both ends of the runway, pilots typically use a non-standard circuit, following the York River valley through the town for departing from runway 12 or landing on runway 30.
