I highly recommend the Lion's Head Provincial Nature Reserve, I've camped there a couple times. Beautiful views, good challenging hike and a decent little camping area that was a little busy last summer, not so much in the shoulder seasons. I've also hiked the Forty Hills/White Bluff trail just to the north across Isthmus Bay, also a good hike, less challenging. 

​Go Leafs.

I must be lucky, for the most part the times on Jeff's maps seem to fit my travel speeds. Obviously this varies a little with wind/weather/partner etc. and I always give myself a couple extra hours/day as a contingency.

Reminds me of the Tim river between Little Butt and Rosebary?

I did this stretch around October 20th last year, 2017. Surprisingly, no issues at all, lots of water and alders weren't a problem either. There were a couple pullovers, but not nearly as many as are indicated on Jeff's Map Version 5.0 (thankfully!). 

​I say go for it!

Last season I went in access #4 Rain Lake in November for a little solo kayak trip. I called the park office, not ontario parks, on my way and they gave me a permit # to write on a piece of paper and leave on my dashboard. Not sure if I even needed it, but it's not too expensive. I doubt they were checking permits. I am planning on doing the same thing tomorrow morning.

Yeah, I think I will head over to Mink and fish smallies. Thanks!

Thanks for the compliments and help! Glad to hear you all think it's a brookie, that's what I really wanted to hear!

Hey folks, I'm a rookie fisherman, took it up last summer, mostly smallmouth fishing. I did some AP trout fishing over the long weekend, and had some success. I was under the impression the lake we were fishing (not sure I can name it, don't know what rules are for that) had only brookies and lakers, so I thought this was a Brook trout. When I got home I showed a friend pictures of our catch, and his opinion was that they were splake.
