Crown Land Near Timmins

12 crown land sites 8 fishing spots 2 campgrounds

Timmins sits in the middle of the northern boreal forest, and crown land effectively surrounds the city — logging and forest-access roads fan out in every direction toward free campsites, moose territory and walleye lakes. The Mattagami River runs through town, Gillies Lake and Porcupine Lake are genuine urban fisheries, and Kettle Lakes Provincial Park, about 40 km east, protects more than 20 spring-fed kettle lakes stocked with trout. This page rounds up the closest public land, fishing spots, campgrounds and road trips around Timmins.
