Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park is a spectacular wilderness class park in Northeastern Ontario, encompassing rugged topography, clear lakes, stunning waterfalls, and rushing rivers. It protects some of Temagami’s famous old growth White and Red pine ecosystems and offers a remote wilderness experience with over 600km of interconnected canoe routes. The park is home to Ishpatina Ridge, the highest point in Ontario, and other scenic high points like Maple Mountain.

"This outpost offers a fantastic off-grid experience with cabins and great access to historical canoe routes. The owners have a deep love for the wilderness and share that feeling with guests. Campfires are permitted, pets are welcome, and basic amenities like toilets and potable water are available."
"Enjoy a private and secluded camping spot in the Boreal forest with tent platforms and camping gear provided. The site offers access to a hidden waterfall, opportunities for swimming and fishing, and a chance to unwind under a star-filled sky. Amenities include an outdoor kitchen, outhouse, and hot water showers."
"It was really cool to see for about two hours but after pushing 2 days worth of canoeing and portaging into 8 hours it got pretty old fast haha. The area had been burnt in 2018, which was an unexpected sight."
