Peterlong Lake

Peterlong Lake is located about 40 km south of Timmins on a good gravel road. It is accessed by driving down Pine St. South. About 30 km. from town there is a turnoff to the right. This is the road to Peterlong Lake and Splitrock Lake. Look for a sign that leads to Mica Bay, the north-east arm of the lake. In the past, there was access to the lake from the hydro dam property on the north-west arm of the lake. There is now a gate across the road so vehicles can no longer reach the water.

Peterlong lake as well as the entire Grassy River System has no cottages on it or any permanent camps. There are many places for canoeists to camp and the lake could be the beginning point for a trip down the Grassy River to Timmins or upwater to Kapiskong, Sinclair and Loonwing Lakes. Over 25 km. of navigable lake water can be accessed from here. It is truly one of the most spectacular areas in the North-east in spring, summer and fall.
