Ontario Parks: Marten River

A replica 19th-century logging camp brings a by gone era to life at this riverside park. Though you won’t hear loggers shouting “timber” you will see remnant stands of the massive pines they felled and a 300-year-old white pine they spared as you walk the trails. Located at the southern gateway to the Temagami lakes, this park is ideal for canoeing, boating and fishing. [ more ]

• 195 campsites of which 95 have hydro

Tour of Temagami's Caribou Mountain and Fire Tower

The 100' high Temagami Fire Tower stands on the summit of Caribou Mountain, 400' above the town and 1300' above sea level. It is just one kilometer from Ontario's historic Yonge Street (Highway 11 ) and is the highest lookout point along this mute.

The cupola at the top of the tower commands a view in excess of 40 kilometers, overlooking Finlayson Provincial Park, the White Bear Forest with its stands of old growth pine and the town's Portage Bay with its floatplane base and water traffic. Remnants of the historic Ferguson Highway and the sites of old mining and logging operations can also be identified.

Prominent features in the landscape include the lakes supporting Ontario Hydro's Matabitchuan Dam and the TransCanada Pipeline serving the industrial heartland of Southern Ontario.

Nothing compares to actually visiting the Tower Site in person. There is a $2 per person admission fee (children 6 years and under get in free). This gives you access to all that the Caribou Mountain/Temagami Fire Tower has to offer including hiking trails, Interpretive Centre, picnic areas, viewing platforms, etc. You can also purchase season passes from the Interpretive Centre to enjoy a whole season's worth of visits with friends and family. You can also enjoy the tour in a motorized 5 passenger golf cart.

And make sure you hike or bike the network of trails through the White Bear Forest.
