Northwestern Ontario Backroad Mapbook |
| The Northwestern Ontario Backroad Mapbook is the most
comprehensive outdoor recreation resource available for the region, a sprawling
area that encompasses the Canadian Shield, prairies, and miles upon miles of
boreal forest. As you travel west from Nipigon, the landscape passes through
canyon country. This is an area marked by sheer cliffs and rugged topography.
Further west, the land transforms into the picturesque territory of the
Canadian Shield that is characterized by granite rocks, boreal forest, and
thousands of lakes. Near the Manitoba border, the rocky landscape gives way to
the flatter prairie lands that typify the eastern plains. |
| The immense area of mostly remote wilderness is an asset to this
region like no other. For people looking to get away from it all, it is not all
that hard to find a place to call your own. There is an established network of
trails, canoe routes, portages, and winter routes that compliment the numerous
parks and Crown Land campsites that scatter the entire region. Like no other
place in Canada, the outdoor enthusiast can find both remote and more
convenient settings among beautiful scenery, pristine wilderness, and peaceful
surroundings. People interested in motorized transportation (ATVing,
snowmobiling) will find this region to be ideal. Established and maintained
trails link all the larger urban centres to smaller communities, while
lesser-used trails lead to isolated spots hundreds of kilometres away from
civilization. |
| The reference section found in this book includes information on
paddling routes, lake and stream fishing, camping (parks and conservation
areas), multi-use trails (hiking/biking, and off road trails) and winter
recreation. Countless hours have been spent in researching this book, making it
the most complete compilation of outdoor recreation information you will find
on the region anywhere. This information can be enjoyed by anyone who spends
time in the great outdoors. The maps in this book highlight the intricate backroad network, trail systems and recreation opportunities in Northwestern Ontario. No other source provides as much detail and accuracy on the road and trail networks of this vast and wonderful section of Ontario. Written by Carmine Minutillo.
