QUICK TAKE

Temagami is the third most popular canoeing area in North America (after Superior-Quetico and Algonquin Park). 

With Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Wilderness Park at its core, it is a rugged landscape of rocky shores, old-growth red and white pine, waterfalls, Ontario's highest elevation, the vast thousand-year-old-plus network of nastawgan — the portages and routes by lake and river — opened by the Temagami Anishnabai and primeval Lake Temagami.

Primeval Lake

The shoreline of Lake Temagami has never been logged so it still bears its primeval appearance and harbors rare stands of old-growth red and white pine.
