Temagami is well known for the scenic beauty, sparkling lakes and abundant wildlife throughout the area. For the past century and up until recently, logging has played a major role in local employment. Today, countless miles of logging roads remain which offer an ATV enthusiast a limitless experience in enjoying our vast land base. Moose, bear, beaver, otter and several birds including the loon, owls, several varieties of small songbirds and the ever elusive osprey call Temagami home. Photo opportunities exist in the Temagami region that cannot be found anywhere else in North America.

ATVing begins after the snow is off the ground and OFSC snowmobile trails are closed. This usually occurs in late April to early May. Trails can and will be muddy until the frost is out of the ground, sometime in early June. Trails are navigable through the end of October and occasionally into early December. Best time for the fall color tour varies year to year but usually peaks anywhere from late August to early October. Call ahead for local color info after mid August.

Although it's not mandatory yet, riders are encouraged to wear hunter orange vests in the moose season which runs from early October to November 15 each year. All hunters (birds, rabbit and moose) are required to wear orange in both bow and gun season.

For the beginner, there are graded gravel roads which are still being used in today's logging operations. Don't forget to share! Off road trips will take you along less traveled paths, often ending with dense overgrowth brushing against your face as you putter along. Mud holes, swamps and beaver dams are common but at the end of the trail is a lake that probably doesn't see more than a couple of fly fishermen a year. As the fish are sizzling in the pan, you stand up, gaze over the pristine wilderness and wonder what your friends back in the big city will be having for their lunch.

The town of Temagami is located in the center of the 31M4 topo map, available from all reputable map retail outlets across the province as well as at several locations locally. Several ATV roads/trails are shown on this map but many more "bunny trails" are not. Our staff can assist you with your daily planning consultation and ink in a trail to ensure you that you will enjoy a day's ride that's custom made to meet and exceed your expectations.

Guides, knowledgeable with the area's wildlife, fishing and photo opportunities, are available to lead you through several types of terrain. Rental fishing equipment, as well as some photographic accessories such as a tripod and a portable tree stand are available. (You'd be surprised what it looks like from 20 feet in the air!). Sorry, no rental cameras are available.

Back at the lodge in the evening, you can hose the buggy off for another ride tomorrow then enjoy one of Marg's internationally famous all-you-can-eat homemade meals. For those with digital cameras (and software), bring your own USB cable, plug into our computer and email today's pics to friends back home.
