North Portage

North Portage: Under Father Paradis’ instructions this trail was “cut out” in 1891 to form a winter road from Bay Lake to Ferguson Bay, Lake Temagami, according to Dr. Barlow the original area cartographer.

It is a pretty, wide, well used, all seasons, 2 Km Portage between Crow Rock Bay, Lake Anima Nipissing over the height-of-land down to Bay Lake behind Emerald Island.

Find camp sites at both ends. Bay Lake shore has an old connecting trail heading toward the head of Bay Lake, Kittson (Trout) Creek and Edison Mountain.
