Most serious paddlers have heard of the Missinaibi River - the longest unbroken stretch of paddling river in Ontario - but that's not what this map is about. This one is about the lakes and headwaters that become the river at the northeast tip of this sheet, and in many ways this area is just as great.
There are two major lakes on this map - Missinaibi Lake and Little Missinaibi Lake. The former has main arms over 43 kilometres long with numerous bays and islands, superb fishing, great cliffs and some of the continents finest examples of aboriginal pictographs. There is plenty of lake here for several weeks of superb canoe or, even better, sea kayak paddling.
Little Missinaibi Lake is quite different than her bigger relative - narrow and convoluted like a pretzel - but with equally fascinating cliffs, old-growth trees and pictograph sites. A very challenging whitewater river joins the two, with an alternative flatwater route with portages preferred by most.
