    Without driving so far north the lakes will give you hypothermia if you swim in them?

    Anywhere?

    How about pooling your $$ for renting a houseboat :) those are fun and can be cheaper. Otherwise, I can only suggest you ask a friend who has a cottage, if you can steal a weekend or two there. Just some thoughts.

    I'm going up North through Algonquin, North Bay, and up through Val d'Or in July.

    Is there anything exciting to see in Northern Ontario & Québec ?? Cool places to drop in ?

    really???...where???

    because ive been looking for years and the only people the crown sells land to is big businesses and mining companies...preference is given to non-canadian companies who want to rape the ground of its natural resources of course....fuck the regular born here guys up the ass is the policy nowadays

    my families parcel of land which has been in the family for 30yrs north of smooth rock falls ontario has been leased from day 1.. BUT last year the crown approached us and asked if we wanted to buy and of course we obliged 1000$ for a lake and millions of acres damn right!

    saying this theres 10's of thousands of acres for lease either from the crown or from an individual owner/leaser for lease..

    otherwise if its not crown land than your buying from a private seller and thats costly

    sorry if I misunderstood the question but I think i've cleared it up her'es a few sites ive been cheking out the best and cheapest land will be timmins mattheson area north

    well thanks..that makes me feels tons better to know that the government is also basically GIVING AWAY our valuable crown land to certain people without putting it on the open market

    wish i knew someone who worked in that department so they could give me some...most of us arent lucky enough to have family who managed to grab a lease back in the day when the price was two peanuts and a handshake

    sign a lease its not uncommon for the option to buy later down the road! and a small price to pay for freedom.....the most freedom ive yet to discover anyways nothing is really free in life!

    Are you close to the boarder? Look Michigan way. There are so many foreclosed cottages going for dirt cheap.
