Ishpatina River Crossing

On the way to the Ishpatina Ridge you gotta cross a river, and of course, drink a beer.

Yes, you are right, I was crossing the Sturgeon river in the video. We did it in September. Don't do it early in the year because of high water levels. I would recommend late July, August or September. We drove to the lower part of woods lake. There is a place to launch your canoe. I live in Sudbury. From Sudbury to the Woods Lake put in point takes about 3-4 hours. There is 80km of rough logging road. Travelling from down south, I'd plan on staying 2 or 3 nights.

Wicked - sounds like you did the exact route that I am planning. So you crossed the river, headed along the north shore of Regan, then north up the cart path, past the round lake there, and over to Woods? Put in right near a small island? Any more video, photos, etc? I am hyped as yours is the hottest lead yet. We can continue to chat in eMail if you like too.

Thanks!

Sure. I can send you some maps too.  What is your email?

Thanks!

I had to write it that way as it would not post any other way. I did sent it to your messages tho as well.

Thanks again - I look forward to whatever you have gathered together for this trip.

Nicely Done! Can you tell me something? What were you driving, and is this the Sturgeon River crossing on the old logging road? Can you also tell me your route? I am planning to do this trip next year and have a route mapped, up the Regan Lake to Woods Lake way. What time of year did you do this? Water seems good and low.
