Lady Evelyn-Smooth Water Provincial Park
A park found in the rugged wilderness of Ontario’s north, Lady Evelyn-Smooth Water Provincial Park is situated along the shoreline of the Lady Evelyn River. Along with the access to the Aurora trout fishing, the park is also famous for the old growth of white and red pine trees. The parks terrain is not maintained on a regular basis and only well trained and experienced outdoorsmen and women should attempt park activities.
The park is found northwest of Temagami. There is road access
from the north via Elk Lake. Mowat Landing on the Montreal
Rivers gives anglers an opportunity to access the park from the
east. Also, there are water access points from the east on Lake
Temagami. Air access is available from Sudbury, Elk Lake and
Temagami.
