The crystal clear water rippling past your canoe casting sunbursts in the summer as you paddle by herons, beavers, and squirrels. The crunch of leaves underfoot in the fall as you me- ander through the towering pines and wilting ferns. Perhaps the crisp cold winter air pressing against your face while you snowshoe or ice fish is what you prefer. What about the spring? The glorious warm sun shining down as the days grow longer with the arrival of spring peepers and the departure of ice, producing hope and a curiosity that only mother nature can satisfy. In Temagami there is beauty in everything. The red and white pine trees that put Temagami on the map are not to be missed in their nobility and splendor. They house squirrel families and birds nests creating microcosms for the whole forest to enjoy. The water runs so deep and clear that you would only dream of swimming through it before finding out that it is in fact real and just as joyous as you thought you could only imagine. In the winter you can follow the tracks of dozens of animals through the snow covered forest floor. Be it the obvious slide marks of an otter or the prolific and easily identified tracks of a snowshoe hare. If you are lucky you may come across the tracks of lynx or moose, and if it truly is your lucky day you may glimpse one of these majestic creatures. I wait for the day that I open the the- saurus and beside the word nature the word Temagami sits synonymous.

Following this, an 85-foot-high light steel fire tower was built in its place which was later demolished and sent over the side of the cliff in 1961 due to severe rusting (which can still be seen today when you look down). In the same year, the 100-foot steel fire tower that now marks the Temagami skyline was built by seven forest rangers; and was used by the MNRF for 25 years. The tower was restored in 1998 and was dedicated to the Ministry of Natu- ral Resources' Forest Rangers. The Forest Ranger Interpretive Centre can be found at the tower’s base to learn about the lifestyle of the rangers who once manned that site, and many others like it. The magnificent panoramic view from the cupola at the tower’s top extends in excess of 40 kilometres and offers many sights, in- cluding: deep-blue lakes, the old growth for- est, the village of Temagami, the Ontario Northland railway, its sister fire tower at Ma- ple Mountain (on a clear day), and so much more! If you’re lucky, you will see the Beaver float plane from Lakeland Airways take-off and land in Lake Temagami’s Portage Bay. The tower stands 400-feet above the town and 1300-feet above sea level, and is just a short drive off of Highway 11 down O’Con- nor Drive and Jack Guppy Way. For those who are not a fan of heights, the site also of- fers viewing platforms from the tower base- level and various hiking trails through the Come and climb the White Bear Old Growth Forest.

Photo by: Kimberly Bricker (The Sky’s the Limit Photography) Page 3 Temagami Train Station In 1904, when the railway line connecting New Liskeard and North Bay reached Temagami, a wooden frame train station was erected to serve as a restau- rant and railway depot. Once the tourism potential of the area was recognized, a more permanent structure was built in 1907 by the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway (now the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission). This station was of boulder masonry on a concrete basement with a red tile roof. Un- fortunately, this structure tragically burned down in 1908, but a new station was rebuilt in within the year. In 1943 the tile roofing was replaced with shingles and the structure remained relatively unaltered until 1976 when an internal fire de- stroyed the original oak paneling and cathedral ceiling. Since then, the station has been restored to very closely resemble its original state, with renovations that al- lows it to be used year-round. Until 2012 the Temagami Train Station was a stop for the Northlander but then the service by Ontario Northland was discontinued. The building is currently owned by the Municipality of Temagami and houses the Tourism Information Centre (managed by the Temagami & District Chamber of Commerce), the Temagami Community Foundation office, and the Living Te- magami Arts & Culture Centre. Article & background photo by: Krista Blais Photo by: Kimberly Bricker (The Sky’s the Limit Photography) Page 6 Tourist Information Centre Since 2017, the Temagami & District Chamber of Commerce has operated the Tourist Information Centre at the historic Temagami Train Station.

  • Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes
    Zawadzka Temagami Area Rock Art 159 Beyond the Sacred: Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes Dagmara Zawadzka The rock art of the Temagami area in northeastern Ontario represents one of the largest concentrations of this form of visual expression on the Canadian Shield. Created by Algonquian-speaking peoples, it is an inextricable part of their cultural landscape. An analysis of the distribution of 40 pictograph sites in relation to traditional routes known as nastawgan has revealed that an overwhelming majority are located on these routes, as well as near narrows, portages, or route intersections. Their location seems to point to their role in the navigation of the landscape. It is argued that rock art acted as a wayfinding landmark; as a marker of places linked to travel rituals; and, ultimately, as a sign of human occupation in the landscape. The tangible and intangible resources within which rock art is steeped demonstrate the relationships that exist among people, places, and the cultural landscape, and they point to the importance of this form of visual expression.

  • The Evolving Muskoka Vacation Experience 1860-1945 by Geoffrey
    The Evolving Muskoka Vacation Experience 1860-1945 by Geoffrey Shifflett A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 © Geoffrey Shifflett 2012 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation examines the development of tourism in Muskoka in the Canadian Shield region from 1860 to 1945. Three key themes are examined: the tourists, the resorts and projected image of the area. When taken together, they provide insight into the origin and evolution of the meanings attached to tourist destinations in the Canadian Shield. The Muskoka Lakes region provides the venue in which continuity and change in each of these elements of the tourism landscape are explored. This dissertation uses previously underutilized primary source materials ranging from hotel ledgers, financial reports, personal correspondence, period brochures, guidebooks, and contemporary newspaper articles to reconstruct the Muskoka tourist experience over an extended period of time. The volume of literature pertaining to American tourism history significantly outweighs similar work conducted on Canadian destinations. This dissertation, therefore, begins with an overview of key works related to the historical development of tourism in the United States followed by a survey of corresponding Canadian literature. The lack of an analytical structure in many tourist historical works is identified as a methodological gap in the literature.

Wolf Lake Coalition to press Provincial Candidates and Leaders Wednesday, 28 May 2014 20:12 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 28, 2014 Wolf Lake Coalition to press provincial candidates’ and leaders’ commitment to protecting world’s largest old-growth red pine forest. North Bay — As the provincial election nears its climax, a coalition of 30 businesses and organizations says the time is now for candidates and party leaders to commit to protecting the world‘s largest remaining stand of old-growth red pine. The Wolf Lake Coalition is using a variety of approaches to seek support from candidates in three ridings and the party leaders for protecting the old-growth forest surrounding Wolf Lake. The forest, located in Greater Sudbury, is part of the Temagami region renowned for its forests, lakes, wildlife and diverse recreational and ecotourism opportunities. Though slated to become part of a network of protected areas, mineral claims and leases have blocked the transfer of the lands into the park system. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines has failed to seize past opportunities to let the claims and leases expire, as promised.
