One of southern Canada's great wilderness rivers, the Spanish is located northwest of Sudbury in Ontario. Our 1:60,000 scale map shows you the rapids, falls, swifts, campsites, portages, access points and other features of the East and West Branches from Biscotasi Lake and Duke Lake in the north to Agnew Lake in the south. This river makes for a great introductory whitewater holiday (except in high water when more advanced skills are required), particularly the East Branch. The West Branch is a little more remote with more difficult rapids to paddle or portage around. In addition to a detailed description of the river, we've also provided lots of info about the rich log drive history of the area, the plentiful animals (black bears, moose, wolves, etc.), access options, local outfitters, safety concerns and much more. Get the map. It has the answers to most of your questions. If it doesn't, we do, so give us a call! One of the real treats of this river is taking a train ride from Cartier or Sudbury north to your put-in along with your canoe and gear. Below is a simple map showing the area our map covers. It also refers to some of our other maps in this area including Mississagi, Halfway and some others nearing completion. The Spanish has recently been reclassified as a Provincial Park. Access points, campsites and portages are regularly maintained, and the river itself patrolled from time to time by park personnel. For an idea of the kinds of features you can see on our maps and some sample close-up sections go to our Features/Samples page. |
