Backcountry camping
For easy backcountry camping, Stormy and Clear Lakes have eight backcountry sites accessible by water (and no portaging!).
For a longer backcountry trip, Stormy flows out into the Restoule River and then into the French River. This creates a four to six day canoe trip that loops back into Clear and Stormy Lakes from Lake Nipissing to the north. Explore Magazine called it one of Ontario’s 25 incredible routes.
Amber Lake, on the Fire Tower Trail
As with much of northern Ontario, the Indigenous people who live in this region have been paddling these routes for thousands of years. The French River section of the trip was the main fur trade route for the better part of three centuries. The French River was named Canada’s first “Canadian Heritage River” because of the outstanding natural, cultural and recreational values.
