Mikisew Provincial Park, Campsite No345
Extensive video footage of camping site number 345 at Mikisew Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada
I filmed this footage because I find that Ontario Parks has limited picture of the site
Pros
- Good space between campsites
- Good privacy around three sides
- Amazing hiking trails
Cons
- the main opening for the site is wide which reduces the privacy, but it's good for people who pull through or have trailer
- a bit of traffic on the roads.

South River is truly a fine destination to visit and/or use as a home base while exploring Algonquin or Mikisew Provincial Parks.
Campers can select a site in the 300-acre mixed forest of Mikisew, located 16 kilometres west of town, with its three beaches and boat launch. Head out on an amazing canoe journey into Algonquin Park by launching your canoe on Lake Kawawaymog (Round Lake) entrance to the park. Vehicles can be left at this entrance, located 20 kilometres east of South River.
Located at the town's south entrance on Highway 11, the Information Centre offers picnic grounds and vending machines. This is also the place to be on Saturday mornings to browse and shop at the Farmer's Market. Brochures are availble at the Forgotten Trails billboard detailing the Forgotten Trails hiking and cycling routes from Magnetawan and Commanda.
Signs on Eagle Lake Road will lead explorers to South River's area trails on the Old Nipissing Road, through the old Rye settlement and along the shores of Eagle, Bray and King Lakes.
South River downtown provides shopping with its grocery and convenience stores, real estate agencies, gas bar, medical centre, pharmacy, beer and liquor stores, and more! An ample number of shops and galleries present local creations like paintings, sculpture, photography, pottery, glasswork, porcelain dolls, handcrafted knives, accommodations, herbal and aromatherapy products.
Bird Watching,Dog Sledding,Forgotten Trails,Hiking & Cycling,Fishing
Birdwatching or birding is one of the fastest growing outdoor recreational activities in North America. Observing the passage of the wave of birds through the continent is enjoyed by millions of people, ranging from those who watch the birds at the feeder in their backyards to those who travel throughout the world to observe the various species.
The Almaguin Region provides birding opportunities throughout the year. The winter months see the fewest number of species and individuals. However, there are species that appeal to the ardent observer. The spruce bogs of the Almaguin Highlands contain populations of Spruce Grouse, Boreal Chickadees, Gray Jays and Black-backed Woodpeckers. These typically boreal or northern birds are near the southern limits of their range in Ontario in this region. Although all four are present throughout the year, winter and early spring is normally the best time to attempt to locate them. The nesting habits of the Gray Jay make it species of interest as it starts to nest in March with the young fledging in early May to take advantage of the summer food supply. Common Ravens commence the courtship flights in February, as they are early breeders as well.
Winter finches, such as Pine Grosbeaks, Red Crossbills, White-winged Crossbills, etc., are winter nomads and may be here one winter in huge number and absent in other years. The abundance of the cone crop here and at other places determines their winter distribution.
Spring sees the wave of birds arriving from southern wintering grounds. The spring migration commences in early April with the arrival of Saw-whet Owls and American Woodcock. As the lakes and rivers open waterfowl of many species pass through. There are large numbers of Hooded Mergansers, Ring-necked Ducks, and Common Bufflehead, which remain to nest in the small wetlands that dot the area. April is the month the Common Loons arrive to fill the night air with their haunting calls. The call of the loon across a northen lake is a Canadian icon.
The woodlands fill with nesting birds in the month of May when the neotropical migrants arrive. The wood warblers are the jewels of the forest community and 21 species nest annually in this region. Many birders travel to migration hot-spots to observe them passing through. In this region these birds establish breeding territories, construct their nests and raise their broods. The variety of forest habitats including hardwoods, mixed and conifers provide the specific nesting requirements of the individual species. Nesting wood warblers of interest in this region include the Northern Parula, Black-throated Green Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, Magnolia Warbler and Canada Warbler.

Disc golf at Mikisew Provincial Park
A perfect disc golf weekend, only three hours away from Toronto! The Mikisew disc golf course winds through beautiful spruce, cedar and balsam forest:
Comprised of moderately long holes averaging 70 m, the course plays perfectly for novices looking for a challenge and intermediate players looking to test their skills.
Although the holes are not long, more advanced players will still find them challenging, as the fairways are tight and technical.
With the help of Innova Disc Golf, disc sets will be available at the park for both purchase and rental. The park is also planning “Disc Golf Days” that will feature guided tours of the course and disc golf instruction for park visitors.
Keep an eye on Mikisew’s events page for updates:
Mikisew Provincial Park is located just off the Highway 11 corridor between Huntsville and North Bay.
The new course is officially available to campers as June, 2019. Ahead of the park opening, Mikisew will be hosting the 16th annual Black Fly Fling PDGA Disc Golf Tournament on the May long weekend:

Grundy Lake Provincial Park
We stayed here for a couple of days before our 1st trip down the French River. We were going do backcountry here but the sites were either swampy, too close, or overgrown. We did how ever get to practice some map reading and portaging. We paddled Grundy, Gut, and Gird Lakes on the Monday. With 2 portages totalling 125 m and the cliffs on Gut Lake ( the kids are cliff jumping ) it was an enjoyable 30 degree day. The scenery was beautiful too many people for our liking although ten years ago when our 3 boys were younger we could have easily spent a week here without ever being bored. Tuesday we drove to the Lake Pakeshkag access paddled through from here to a 10 m portage into Sicle Lake then a short paddle came to a 160 m portage over railway ( Don't stick around on the tracks blind corners and fast trains) down into Rapidfoot Lake the falls here are really pretty and being the only ones to carry our canoe over the hill after leaving the falls area we had Rapidfoot Lake to ourselves we paddled a short distance 2 km up Pakeshkag River water was shallow and many beaver dams we returned to Rapidfoot and explored the island. Grundy Lake Provincial Park is a great spot for an introduction to backcountry canoeing well still being close to help if you were to need it or forget something. Grundy does have one bad point that is the close proximity to both Highway 69 ( don't stay on Clear Lake it is directly across from 69 ) and two busy railway lines on its south and east boarders ( The backcountry campsite on Rapidfoot Lake is 500 m from busy railway with long freights all hours )
