Good morning all. I am new to Temagami park, and am looking for suggestions for a week long trip that includes solitude and great fishing.
Any ideas?
Thanks |

Put-in at Twinkle, through Solace area and down the Sturgeon River to Pilgrim and back to Twinkle through Yorston. Great lake trout, smallmouth and walleye in this route. |

Here are the maps from this site. 1) Upper Yorston
http://www.ottertooth.com/Temagami/Maps/heartland0 1.htm
2) Solace area http://www.ottertooth.com/Temagami/Maps/heartland0 2.htm 3) Upper Sturgeonhttp://www.ottertooth.com/Temagami/Maps/heartland0 3a.htm
4) Sturgeon (Kettle to Pilgrim) http://www.ottertooth.com/Temagami/Sites/chini10.h tm
And then back to first map. |

Alternatively, this route could be accessed via the Gervais Road to the upper Sturgeon. |

Any outfitters that you all might recommend? |

I would also suggest you buy a couple of maps, Natural Resources Canada maps with a scale of 1:50000 are pretty good but you need a few to cover all of Temagami. Ontario MNR has a map «Temagami Canoe Routes» that covers all of Temagami. This map should be available Finlayson Point Provincial Park. |

Twinkle lake access was closed last summer for bridge replacement. It might still be difficult to negotiate coming summer - see recent posts on this forum re: Obabika bridge. If it's open still beware of the last 12km after the Obabika bridge: this is a rough trail, which might be too difficult for sedan. Gervais road access is much easier.
Temagami is not a park, it's a territory, most of it is crown land, but it also includes a few provincial parks. The route suggested above runs through 2 of them: Sturgeon river and Solace parks. |

I wouldn't count on using Twinkle Lake as an access point. I got a pickup there in 2013 and the paint job on my truck (a mid-size Tacoma) took a toll.... Unless someone has walked the last few kms with a chain saw since then I wouldn't recommend it.

My mistake: the bridge was closed in July 2013, not 2014. It's doubtful that the problem Doublebend describes was mended since then - if anything it's probably got much worse. |
