The object of this booklet is to enlighten the tourist, con-
cerning the features of beauty and attraction along the route of
the Ferguson Highway, and to give some conception of the
character of those regions through which this splendid highway
passes.
Despite -the necessary brevity with which these various
points are touched upon, and the inadequacy of description,
rendered unavoidable in a booklet of such concise proportions,
it must nevertheless be apparent that herein lies much food for
thought, and material upon which to base many pleasurable
outings.
If th lure of the open country --the appeal of the forest
and the shimmering blue lakes —offers attractive possibilities in
prospect, then the information contained in this little booklet
may help to swing aside for the reader, the portals of the Gate-
way to the Northland of Promise.
W. FINLAYSON,
Minister in charge of Northern Development.
June, 1929. *1,
SUNLIGI-IT, moonlight, or starlight, gleaming on the Placidity
of quiet lakes. Cool green forests, rippling streams, and
Heaven's vast canopy of blue overhead. The brooding hush of
Nature, drowsy in a maze of intricate beauty. The glory of the
Northland's flaming sunsets, and the promise of her radiant
dawn. Great tracts of luxuriant, fertile land, blest by warm
sunshine, soothed and nurtured by cooling rain. Thriving towns,
prosperous cities.
All these charms, and more, are to be found along the Fer-
guson Highway, traversing the wonderful regions of Northern
Ontario.
THE FERGUSON HIGHWAY
THI; UVRGUS0N HIGHWAY, so named in honour of
Premier Ferguson of Ontario, provides a splendid road for
motor travel from Severn Bridge to Cochrane, the latter being
five hundred miles north of Toronto.
Passing through territory of unsurpassed loveliness, which
includes the Muskoka Lake District and the Temaganii Forest
Reserve, this highway is a boon to the lover of the open road,
where exists zestful freedom from the clash of city life. Nature's
roughly fashioned, but appealing pictures, present themselves to
the tourist's view, \%,hile the air is charged with the tang of
unsullied purity, freshness, and healthful invigoration.
A smoothly running car, a good road, pleasant companions,
and refreshing changes of scene —what more could the heart of
man desire?
At the Severn River, on the south boundary of Muskoka,
1)0 miles, front Toronto, the Ferguson highway comes under the
jurisdiction of the Department of Northern Development, On-
tario, thence to Cochrane one may travel easily and com-
fortably over an improved gravel road, upon which, during- the
present year further improvements in the matter of straighten-
ing and widening are being made, particularly on that portion
through the District of Muskoka.
Proceeding north along the Ferguson .Highway from
Severn Bridge, through an attractive stretch of country, one
strikes the Sparrow Lake Road, turning off to the westward at
mileage 98• Sparrow Lake lies about two miles west of the
Ferguson Highway —a vacation spot that sparkles as a gem in
the Muskoka Lakes District, offering restfully tranquil inspira-
tion, through its brooding silences and natural charms of scene,
yet ready with its joyous thrills of vigorous outdoor life, as well.
The Town of Gravenhurst is reached at Mileage 108. At
this point, and branching off from the highway, one comes
upon the road leading west to Bala, and thence to Parry Sound.
While touching- the north-westerly extremity of Lake Muskoka,
this road lies close to the shores of Lake Joseph. These two
lakes are important summer resorts, combining beauty with
adequate facilities for pleasurable recreation. Here, man's
anxieties take flight, or are modified by the soothing touch of
Nature's hand. Sky, earth and water blend in the harmony of
the eternal hymn to peace.
Proceeding northward again, Bracebridge is reached at
Mileage 118. Two roads branch off at this point; the Brace -
bridge -Baysville-Dorset Road, 32 miles in length, runs eastward,
leading to the pretty little Village of Dorset, which lies at the
head of the Lake of Bays. To the west, the road to Port Car-
ling skirts the northerly shore of Muskoka Lake, joining the
Gravenhurst-Bala Road at Glen Orchard.
A few miles north of Bracebridge, a road runs north-west-
erly to Lake Rosseau. This sparkling body of water, appearing
gem -studded by reason of its innumerable islets, is generally
regarded as the fairest of the Muskoka Lakes. Tiny piers and
boat -houses, jutting out from a background of sun -touched
verdure into the incomparable.. blue waters —the bewildering,
yet appealing, beauty of the veritable maze of islands —all these
charms combine to render the Lake Rosseau region one of great
attraction and peaceful loveliness.
One arrives at the Town of Huntsville, at Mileage 140, on
the Ferguson Highway. At this point, a road turns off in a
south-easterly direction to Dwight and Dorset. The Lake of
Bays steamers put out from Huntsville, conveying passengers
to the many tourist resorts on the Lake of Bays. Here the
portals are thrown open to a region of sparkling water and
gleaming azure sky —the superb Lake of Bays District, with its
delights for camper, angler and canoeist. The glorious supremacy
of Nature, revelling in the freedom of outdoor vastness, is here
blissfully apparent. Soul and body alike respond to the call of
unspoiled, untramelled beauty.
The railway from Parry Sound to Ottawa crosses the Fer-
guson Highway at Scotia Junction, Mileage 155. The line •passes
through the southern portion of Algonquin Park and many of
the tourists visiting the famous park area enter on this line.
Roads branch off from Emsdale at Mileage 158 in an easterly
direction to Sand Lake, and to Sprucedale on the west.
From Burks Falls at Mileage 168, a road leads westerly and
south-westerly to the Town of Parry Sowed on the Georgian
Bay.
Tilden Lake —Mileage 253
At Sundridge, Mileage 1R0, a road branches off to the west-
ward joining the Burks balls -Parry Sound road at Magnetawan.
At Trout Creek, Mileage 200, a branch road leads in a
westerly direction to the splendid agricultural areas at Com-
nianda, Golden Valley and Loring.
Continuing northward on the Ferguson highway, Powassan
is reached at Mileage 209. At this point, a road turns west to
connect with Restoule, and the 'Trout Creel: -Loring Road, giving
access to Lake Restoule and Conimanda.
At Mileage 221, one arrives at Callander, where the tourist
first strikes the beautiful Take Nipissing, and the Callander-
Pembroke Road branches off to the east, leading in the direc-
tion of Ottawa.
On that stretch of the Ferguson I fighway lying between
Callander and North Bay (a distance of 8.5 miles), a bituminous
penetration pavement is being laid to cope, not only with the
heavy local traffic, but also to provide for the increasing through
traffic between Sault Ste. Marie and Ottawa and on the Fer-
guson Highway— thissection being common to both roads.
North Bay at Mileage 230, the gateway to the great
Northland of Promise, with its immense and impressive mineral
riches, it agricultural bounties, and luxurious camping grounds,
is a point of marked interest. It is at this point, that the road
leading westerly to Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie and intermediate
points, branches off.
Leaving the City of North Bay via Klock Avenue, a pleasant
drive of about one mile along the Ferguson highwaybrings one
to Thibeault Hill, on which is located a lookout.,cairn. from
this, a magnificent sweelring view may he obtained, embracing
the City, and Lake Nipissing, with the Manitou Islands only a
few miles distant.
Lake Nipissing, with its numerous inlets of superlative
natural beauty, is a feature which cannot be overlooked, in
summing up the many scenic charms of this vicinity. A lovely
blue lake is this, almost fifty miles long, and averaging ten miles
in width. It abounds with fish, lying as it does in the heart of
the vast Northland, while moose roam the nearby forests.
Wilson Lake —Mileage 284
w
Proceeding a distance of five miles farther, the tourist
arrives at the entrance gates to the new portion of the Highway
as Cooks Mills, Mileage 236, where the Forestry Department
registers -the name and address of every tourist entering the
territory leading to the magnificent Temagami Forest Reserve.
From Cooks Mills northward, the highway passes through
a pine and hardwood forest —glamorous with the mystery of
primeval vastness —to the Tomiko River and Tilden bake. At
the latter point, Mileage 252, an excellent Government camp for
tourists is maintained, offering the requisites, comforts and
facilities for rest sought for by the average tourist when he
reaches a halting place.
Traversing another 15 miles through a region of virgin
pine, Martin River, crossing Mileage 266, is reached, where the
Ontario Government provides a comfortably appointed tourist
camp.
From Martin River crossing, a five -mile drive brings one to
the south boundary of the Temagami Forest Reserve at Mile-
age 271.
Temagami is the centre of the tourist trade for Temagami
Lake District and is reached at Mileage 294. This is the point
at which supplies may be procured. It is a calling port for the
passenger boats plying oil the Lake, and is the transfer point
for those arriving or leaving by the Ontario Government Rail-
way.
One arrives at Latchford at Mileage 316. The chief industry
here is ]timbering, it being possible to run the logs from this
point down the Montreal River. In the days before the building
of a railway west from F,arlton Junction, the old route into the
Gowganda mining area was -by the water route, starting at this
point.
At Mileage 325, Cobalt is reached. This is the business
centre of one of -the most celebrated silver mining districts in the
world, and it is therefore a spot of rare interest to those seeking
an insight into this phase of Ontario's wealth -producing activity,
and one of the many wonders connected with Ontario's natural
resources.
At North Cobalt, Mileage 329, a road branches off to the
south-east, leading to the Lorrain Silver Mines —further evi-
dence of the enormity of Ontario's mineral wealth.
Haileybury, at the commencement of the Southern Clay
Belt, Mileage 331, is favorably and beautifully situated on the
shore of Lake Temiskaming. It is -the residential centre for a
considerable number of those who are engaged in the mining
camps to the south of the town. Rendering the town still more
important, the judicial affairs for Temiskaming are here
carried on.
New Liskeard on the Ferguson Highway, at Mileage 336, is
a flourishing town, situate on Lake Temiskaming, in the heart
of a fine agricultural region, and a Government Demonstration
Farm is operated at this point. An infinite variety of farm pro-
duce finds ready market in the mining communities to the north
and south. A branch road runs westward to Gowganda, start-
ing at Mileage 337, a short distance north of the town.
Many attractive farms, worked by enterprising, prosperous
tillers of the soil, lie between New Liskeard and l,,arlton
Junction.
At the latter point, Mileage 358, there is a branch of the
Ontario Government Railway runing west into Elk Lake, from
which point there is heavy traffic by road into Gowganda, where
for the past 20 years silver mines have been operated with
gratifying success.
Proceeding along the Ferguson Highway, Englehart is
reached at Mileage 369. A town of an agricultural character, t`
Englehart is a divisional point on the main line of the Temis-
kaming & Northern Ontario Railway, and there is a branch line
of the railway from this point to Charlton.
Charlton, at Mileage 377, is the starting point of the original
route by road into Elk Lake and Gowganda.
At Mileage 398, one comes to the Village of Dane, which
rests on the edge, so to speak, of the southern gold mining area.
From here a road branches off eastward to Larder Lake.
Swastika is reached at Mileage 406, Here we reach the
entry to the Kirkland Lake gold fields, the group of mines at
this point being second only in importance in Ontario, in point
of production. The Town of Kirkland Lake and the centre of
the gold area lies about 4/ miles north-east of Swastika, and
may be reached by rail or by an excellent motor road. Among
the mines of note, operating in this area, may be mentioned the
Tough Oakes, Sylvanite Gold Mines, Wright -Hargreaves, Lake
Shore and Teck-Hughes.
Proceeding along the Ferguson Highway, one arrives at
Ramore at Mileage 438. This is a fertile piece of country in the
Northern Clay Belt, where agricultural pursuits flourish. Much
development work is also under way in good mining sections to
the east of Ramore.
Matheson, at Mileage 449, situated on the Black River, is
in a section conducive to agricultural activity, the fertile lands
in this area being second to none in the great Clay Belts of the
north.
A road turns west to Porcupine and Timmins at Shillington,
Mileage 460. The most famed and productive gold fields in the
C Province are Porcupine. Hollinger, the largest of these, ranks
among the greatest gold mines of the world, in quality of ore,
H and tonnage produced. Timmins is the business centre of the
Porcupine gold fields.
aContinuing north from Shillington, the Ferguson Highway
traverses some splendid agricultural country, where the soi!
yields a wealth of useful and nutritious produce, and where sun-
shine and rain seem to work together for the prosperity of the
farmer.
One comes to Monteith at Mileage 467, where a road
branches off in a northerly direction to the Town of Iroquois
Falls, and this road may be followed as an alternative route as
it joins the Ferguson Highway again at Mileage 479.
At Mileage 473, Porquis Junction is reached, from whence
a road leads north-easterly to Iroquois Falls, and south-easterly
to Timmins. Large paper mills are operated at Iroquois Falls.
This town has been laid out with great care and good taste and is
looked upon in the North as the model town.
Cochrane in an excellent piece of agricultural country, is
reached at Mileage 506. This is the junction point of the Cana-
dian National Railway and the Temiskamring and Northern On-
tario Railway. The latter has been extended 26 miles to a point
beyond Island Falls, on the way to Moose Factory on James Bay.
This is the northerly terminus of the Ferguson Highway, from
which roads are rapidly being constructed in northerly, easterly
and westerly directions. The road to the west leading to Kapus-
kasing and Hearst being rapidly pushed through to completion.
Muskoka District
has called the Muskoka lake region "The Palm
SOMEONF
Beach of Ontario." Easily reached 1by motor or rail, this
district unfolds to the eyes of the tourist, scenes that will linger
in memory's store house for years to come. Caressed by the
cuOling breath of breezes impregnated with -the balm of pine
and placid waters, here one may enjoy the magic allurements
of Nature, to the full. Sparkling jewels in the robe of the great
outdoors, are the multitudinous small lakes which stud the
district. Little gems, too, are the Pine -clad islands, the acme
of beauty and unblemished charm.
x
In the three principal lakes, Muskoka, Roseau, and Joseph,
there are about 500 islands, grading from very large to tiny
The group of lakes embraced by Muskoka contains all shapes
o
and sizes in bodies of water, some of them very small indeed.
(n
Lake Muskoka is, however, nineteen miles long, while her
sisters, Lake Rosseau and Lake Joseph, are twelve miles, and
CZ
a
fourteen miles, respectively.
Superior hotel accommodation is offered in this region,
suitable to every type of visitor, while innumerable summer
villas and attractive cottages are owned by city people -who
�
"summer" here. Modern passenger steamers, splendidly out-
fitted and commodious in appointment, ply on the lakes.
Distances from principal cities to Muskoka District: Tor-
x
onto, 112 miles; Niagara Falls, 196 miles; Buffalo, 218 miles;
Pittsburgh, 475 miles; New York, 657 miles; Philadelphia, 634
miles; NVashington, 654 miles; Boston, 775 miles; Montreal, 446
miles; Ottawa, 369 miles; Detroit, 341 miles; Chicago, 627 miles;
and St. Louis, 830 miles.
Parry Sound District
T11ERI? are many features connected with the District of
Parry Sound -that are interesting, and fraught with striking
beauty.
Georgian Bay, with a length of one hundred and twenty
miles, and an average width of fifty, is a veritable joy to behold.
An archipelago made up of thousands of islands of various
sizes, lies along the North-eastern side of Georgian Bay. Small -
mouth black bass abound in the waters around these islands,
while lake trout and maskinonge are also plentiful.
Thirty miles north of the town of Parry Sound, Pointe
au Baril has a peculiarly distinctive appeal. Excellent bass fish-
ing, ideal climate, superb conditions for canoeing, and pervading
everything, the romantic thrill of glamorous natural loveliness.
The zestful scent of pine woods mingles with the gentle winds
from the lake areas, rendering life among such surroundings de-
0
lightful indeed. Partridge, deer and the occasional porcupine,
v
not forgetting flocks of black ducks, are found here —a feature
a
of unquestionable attraction for the sportsman. The desira-
bility of visiting this region is apparent, and the features touch-
ed upon briefly are but a few of the charming threads woven
ctl
into a weft of incomparable beauty by the Creator's hand.
a
a
Nipissing District
(SUNSHINE, radiant skies, limpid blue waters, and the
J enchanting mystery of forest solitudes —scenic beauty which
o
at times baffles description. He who traverses the Nipissing
a
country —north and east of the French River, Lake Nipissing,
as
North Bay, and tip the line of the Temiskaming and Northern
a
Ontario Railway —falls tinder the magic spell of this multiplicity
of Nature's splendors.
Temagami Forest Reserve
NE,ARLY four million acres in area, and approximately 100
miles in length, the Temagami Forest Reserve is a fas-
cinating region, picturesque and exhilarating to the jaded •city
dweller. The three principal lakes shimmer against a cool back-
ground of verdant hill country, and are joined by an intricate
network of streams, upon which, however, canoe trips are
feasible and pleasurable.
Abundant wild life pervades this region. Here the moose,
mink, bear and beaver live and flourish according to the primal
law.
A canoe trip of 3,000 miles, without lift or carry, is provided
by Lake Temagami, which is not two miles in width at any
point. Grouse and wild geese are plentiful.
What a relief from the swirl and throb of restless city life,
is a sojourn in this realm of a thousand subtle enchantments.
Reclining in your tent, or taking advantage of the haven offered
by a tourist camp, your muscles are bound to relax, your fancy
will have full play, while the depressing weights of worry and
business responsibility are lifted from the mind. In their stead
comes a sense of infinite contentment, as the eye transmits to
the 'brain the glorious masterpieces of Nature. Born of the
increasing hunger for further glimpses of scenic wonder, comes
an intensely refreshing appetite for food. Sleep comes instantly
in the cool evenings, with the mere touch of one's head to the
pillow. Tanned skin, hardened muscles, renewed energy and
joy in living —innumerable thrills of swimming, paddling, fishing
and exploring —these things go to make up a phase of exi§tence
touched with the glamor of unalloyed delight. i
Teniagami Forest Reserve is 300 miles north of Torbnto,
400 miles from Buffalo, and 415 miles west of Montreal.
Temiskaming District
TEMISKAMING District offers many interesting features,
not the least of which is the presence of the silver mining
areas. The Cobalt Mines are world famous, magnetic in appeal,
and of unqualified success. Then there are the Gowganda and
Lorrain Silver mines, both flourishing and attractive.
Good farming country abounds in Temiskaming District.
The climate is healthful and bracing. The gripping lore of the
great open spaces comes upon one —the ever-present wonder-
ment of God's diversified creation.
This district contains the vast Temagam'i Forest Reserve.
Cochrane District
ASTRETCH of country embracing •a multitude of natural
wonders, lies for miles north to James Bay, and east to
Lake Abitibi; also west through territory practically unscarred
by the oftentimes devastating knife of civilization.
There is very good hunting in the vicinity.
The seeking and finding of gold stirs the heart of man with
thrills of romantic, adventurous enthusiasm. In the Cochrane
District, one finds the Kirkland Lake, and the Porcupine Gold
Fields, both of which possess mines of excellence and im-
portance.
