About

Access 10 (Magnetawan Lake) provides a quieter alternative to Highway 60 access points with short portages ideal for mixed-ability groups. The paddling is easy to moderate on lakes like Hambone and Ralph Bice, featuring mostly flat portages through accessible terrain. The scenery combines pristine northern lakes with forested shorelines and excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. Best visited May through October, avoiding crowds by visiting midweek or in shoulder seasons. Access requires a longer drive via Highway 11 through Kearney; the final logging road is rough but scenic.
