Crown Land offers endless trails for hiking, observing nature and wildlife.

Caribou Mountain
has a
lookout with a breathtaking view of the village and northeast arm of Lake
Temagami. The 100' Temagami Fire Tower stands on the summit of the mountain 400'
above the town and 1300' above sea level. It is the highest point on Yonge St.
(Hwy 11). The cupola at the top commands an amazing 360° view in excess of 40
km.
Finlayson Point Provincial Park is located 1 km
south of the town of Temagami, situated on Lake Temagami. A small museum
features displays of historic logging artifacts, old tools, and locally
found fossils and minerals.
The Ferguson Trail is located at the north end
of Lake Temagami near Sandy Inlet and can also be accessed from the Red
Squirrel Road or by water. This trail features a climb up Ferguson Mountain
to a height 123 meters above Lake Temagami. Both Maple Mountain and the
Ishpatina Ridge (Ontario's highest point) are visible from the summit. The
trail system runs south to Kokoko Lake for those desiring an extended hike.
The White Bear Forest was
declared a conservation reserve on July 4, 1997. Of the known remaining stands
of old-growth white pine forest it is the sixth largest. One of the unique
things about the White Bear Forest is that you don't need to hike into a remote
area or be flown many miles to explore its depths. It is perhaps one of the most
easily accessible of the remaining large stands of old-growth pine. It consists
of 1242 hectares of old-growth forest with hiking trails that begin just east of
Temagami.
Lakeland Airways-- Take
in Temagami and it's endless beauty from a small air craft. Flights can be
arranged with this local company in Temagami. It's breath taking!

number of trails running along miles of pipeline, down old logging roads

remote trails. Bring the family or

Lake Herridge Lodge you will share a life time of memories.
