Just got back from a few days of camping on the lake in LSPP. I had a really great time and would highly recommend this park, especially the hike-in sites and the canoe-in sites. The campsites are spectacular- many have their own private sandy beaches and all have amazing views.

 

I really like rocky beaches so I canoed to a site that had one and set up camp. Looking at the map I also figured it might be close to some good fishing spots:

Getting ready to head out fishing in the canoe:

I spent a while casting different spoons and spinners along the shoreline until I found a great spot with a bunch of submerged trees next to deep water. First catch was a 12" brook trout, caught on a 2" silver and red Williams Wabler:

In the same spot I also caught an 18" lake trout, also on the red and silver Wabler:

After returning to camp, I had a great panoramic view of the sunset:

If any of you guys have the chance to go to LSPP, I'd recommend also checking out the Coastal Trail while you're there. I did a day hike to some very scenic lookouts, and wish I could have spent more time on the beach along the shore. Next time I'd spend more time there for sure and camp a few days at a hike-in site. It would be pretty easy to take the canoe to some of the sites closest to the access point, but I have no idea if the fishing would be any good there. Here's what it looked like:

Cheers!

LLSP is one of the most beautiful places in Ontario. The distance is big enough from GTA thats its never crowded and the fishinf is fantastic

 

Definitely! The beaches really set it apart from other places like Killarney. And you're right about it never being crowded- I saw practically nobody else there the entire time, even with perfect weather.

 

Nice report and nice fish! Haven't been to LSPP but it's on the list!!

 

Thanks! It's high on my list of places to return to.

 

Awesome and THANK YOU for the lspp porn. My favourite place on earth!!

 

Awesome! I only just got a taste of it, but it quickly became one of my favorites too. :)

 

what a beautiful area, thanks for the report

 

Welcome!

 

Yup, the park is the bomb. Great pics of the scenery and nice fish. Looks like you really enjoyed yourself.

I spent 4 nights camping in the park in early March 2013. It's a pretty spectacular corner of the world in the winter

 

That sounds amazing. Were you in an RV? I went winter camping for the first time in February this year at Killarney, but stayed in one of their heated yurts. They have a few groomed ski trails there but I found it more fun to go snowshoeing and explore wherever I wanted. I'd like to do more winter camping, maybe even someplace you can also do ice fishing.

nice report and some beauty shots. LSPP is one of the most spectacular pieces of scenery in Ontario. Amazing waters, and canoe in campsites. Brings back some great memories

Just wait till they get the 36 wind turbines erected on the park border overlooking lake Superior...that will make it look really sprctacular

 

They should be done by next spring...gawd I love that Ms Wynn

This could turn into a heck of a hijack

 

I drove by there last week and you wouldn't believe the roads they are punching through virgin forest to get to the top of all the hills around there...with transport trucks and 600 ton cranes.

 

 

Heck of a way to save the environment while at the same time closing roads so we can't access our favorite lakes

I don't want to imagine that, and had no idea that was actually happening already. Sickening
