Bonnechere Tour
Information
If you are camping at Bonnechere
Provincial Park this is a great way to do some exploring. The first
half of this tour follows a Forest Access Road. A Forest Access Road
provides access to Crown Land for logging and recreational activities.
You will pass Stephenson Lake and the Bonnechere River on your left
side, and Crown Land that borders Algonquin Park to the right. There
are also a couple of wetland areas along this road. The road can have
sections of washboard depending on the amount of logging truck traffic
over the season. The second half of this route is on paved road that
crosses over the Bonnechere River and passes by a fishing camp.
Directions
- From the parking
area follow Gunns Rd for 9 km. This road is a Forest Access Road and
posted as Unmaintained: Use at Own Risk. This section of the road
can have washboard, and loose gravel.
- There are numerous
logging roads and snowmobile routes that lead off this road. Many
roads to the right are on Crown Land and can be explored; check Ministry
of Natural Resources maps.
- At T-intersection
turn left and continue onto paved road.
- Follow road through
Turners Camp back to Cty Rd 58 and turn left.

58 for 2 km back to your vehicle.
