Description
The Magnetawan River originates in the southwest of Algonquin Park and flows 175 km to Georgian Bay. Much of the waterway is protected as part of the Magnetawan River Provincial Park.
Burk’s Falls to Magnetawan (36Km)
For a leisurely day-trip, paddle the Magnetawan River from scenic Burk’s Falls and through the locks system between Lake Cecebe and Ahmic Lake in Magnetawan. A small boat ramp below the dam at the Welcome Centre on Hwy 520 makes a great launch site.
The Magnetawan River continues beyond Ahmic Lake offering paddlers a more challenging route.
Directions
From the HWY 11/17 junction near Seymour Street, head southeast on HWY 11 until you reach Burk’s Falls about 84 km (52.2 mi) later.
