While camping at Marten River provincial park, we took a drive to Temagami and climbed the fire tower in town. We'll worth the effort. A spectacular view of the area.

Finally crossed it off of our list this was quite the journey from our cottage, over 3 hours one way, but well worth it. We had my Parents 68 and 70 and my children 6/8/13 and we all thoroughly enjoyed the day. The hike was short but we stayed for a while to take it the breath taking views. There is a number of scenic look outs at the top and every one just as stunning. We also explored the river down at the picnic area and canoe launch. Definitely recommend this shot trail if you travel east of Algonquin at all!

World Class Multi-day Expeditions by Dog Sled and Canoe. Located in Algonquin Park and Temagami, Ontario.
Reviewed By SR_Miss - Mississauga, Canada
My son and I had an amazing 3 day trip! The guides (Nick and Travis) did a great job teaching us about sledding and caring for the dogs. They also prepared delicious meals which were safe for my son who has multiple food allergies. It was so beautiful to have the dogs take us through the park in deep snow. The dogs were definitely the highlight of the trip and getting to know their unique personalities was so fun. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone! It’s a unique, winter experience that should not be missed!

A great place to visit! The volunteers on the property are so friendly and more than willing to chat and tell you their stories about the place. We spent an hour there walking the trails and viewing the sculptures. Admission is free (they do have a donation box, with proceeds going to the Burk’s Falls foodbank and library). Plenty of free parking. Go and enjoy!!
8. South River Brewing Co
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 37 reviews
South River Brewery (formerly Highlander) is located in South River, in the Almaguin Highlands just north of Muskoka - making South River Brewing Co one of the most northerly craft breweries in Ontario. A five-minute drive from the Highway 11 exit will bring you straight to our new brewery on the main street in South River.

I picked up a few cans of Highlander Beer while traveling to North Bay a month ago and noticed, when i got home, the option to Order Online. I tried the service and had beer delivered to my door within days of my order. A great variety and good beer while offering a service that is useful during these days of social isolation. Cheers !

Travelling on Highway 60, we stopped to visit the Algonquin Logging Museum. What a great place to visit. Starting with a video presentation which end with the screen rising and the trail outside in front of us. Walking round the trail the story of logging in the park is told with information boards and displays. There are many photo opportunities. In this case we selected around 70 for our on-line gallery, of which 6 have been selected to share on facebook. It was a dry warm overcast day when we visited. The trail took us around an hour to walk around the trail, which whilst is step free, undulates with several gradients.
