Road access re-opens to Gamble Lake in wilderness park

This month the former logging road into the north end of the wilderness park was upgraded and cleared to Gamble Lake.

Up to the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Wilderness Park boundary, the former Liskeard Lumber Road has been upgraded by the forest industry for future logging outside, and north of, the park.

Ontario Parks brushed the road further to the area of Gamble Lake to allow closure of the old logging road bisecting the park, permit legal access to Gamble Lake, and re-assert control over illegal access beyond Gamble.

For the first time in a decade, road vehicles can drive to Gamble Lake. The road had remained passable to ATVs.

Watch for a full report here in the next few days.

Hap's third memoir is a rollicking read

Hap Wilson's third memoir, Grey Owl and Me, is out. Like its predecessors, The Cabin and Trails and Tribulations, it takes us on another passionate journey through his outsized life.

There are canoe trips across the Barrens, a Hollywood cameo teaching Pierce Brosnan to throw knives, the battle against chainsaws in Temagami and a media-gig-gone-bad when angry Maritime sealers send him fleeing into a wintry night. FULL BOOK REVIEW
