Hello everyone, it's my first post.
Does anyone know if you can launch a boat in McLean lake from Red Squirrel Road. If so can you motor up to Anima Nippissing Lake. |

If you want to go to Anima Nip..why wouldn't you just launch in it at the access off of Hwy #11 ? |

Irishfield, I think you mean the access off the Anima Nipissing Road. |

Thanks for the posts guys. The thing is that I am planning an early spring trip in 2008 with a few friends. I want to use one of the campsites at the south end of Anima Nippissing Lake as a starting point for several day canoeing trips. If we bring a boat it gives us an out for bad weather. I would much rather go up Mclean Lake paddling than though Anima Nippissing Lake because of the unknown weather conditions.
Thanks Hoof, |

There is a campsite at that location and it is usually occupied starting from about early May and on into early September.
There is no official boat launch there.

Launching at McLean would depend on the size of your boat and how much enjoyment you would get out of dragging it up and down what is perhaps a 35 degree grade. I'll try and attach a couple of pictures to clarify.  .
Like Ed said the site is very busy all spring and summer. |

Thanks guys that is exactly what I needed. Is the campsite you're talking about right on Red Squirrel Road. I was thinking of camping at one of the sites at the south end of Anima Nippissing Lake. This web page makes it so much easier to plan a camping trip. |

The campsite is just a few feet off the road on a bald rock  |
