Access 25 (Wendigo Lake) serves as the gateway to Radiant Lake via North River, a 3-day out-and-back route perfect for paddlers seeking quality scenery without excessive portaging. The gentle North River winds through marshy terrain and small lakes, creating excellent moose-viewing opportunities in early summer with near-guaranteed sightings. Radiant Lake itself features stunning sandy beachfront campsites and shallow golden waters ideal for swimming. Multiple portages link these waterways, but the journey remains manageable for intermediate paddlers. This northern route offers solitude and excellent wildlife encounters with reliable access and well-maintained campsites.
Access 25 (Head Lake) is estimated at Intermediate. Whitewater ratings are not exact: grades change with water level and season. Verify current conditions locally before you paddle.
The best time is June-August.
Access 25 (Head Lake) is located in the Algonquin Provincial Park region of Canada.
