Back Country in Capreol

  • 2013-01-24 00:58:28

    I know everyone from out west will laugh at this but heard that there is a "mountian" that is around 90ofeet in the Capreol area (Just north of Sudbury). I was wondering if anyone kew where it was and how it is?

    You are not alone:

    The Eastern Canada forum is far from alive with posts but that may change, so far only a few Ontario questions and some action from Quebec. If you have any info would love to hear it as well as that is where I grew up before heading west (like everyone else!).

    Dude, try to hook up with the Sudbury Canoe Club-I know some of their WW paddlers have been telemarking the hills in Capreol for decades. Sorry no more info than that.

    Hi, I've just moved back to Northern Ontario from out west. I just started tele last season on lake Louise and sunshine. I'm really interested in any backcountry spots in the Manitoulin-Sudbury-North Bay area. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. As for that hill in capreol I think it might be wolf lake mountain, I might take a rip down kukagami lake road to check it out. Also I live up on the hill in North Bay and there must be a pole line or something that is usable... With all the snow and powder we've got up there this year it could be sweet! If anyone's in the area feel free to msg me.

    If you're still looking for the "mountain" north of Capreol...I came across a couple guys cutting a downhill trail up there this past fall.  They have several trails in that area they have cut.  If you're still looking I could give you directions to the location.

    I am still looking for that elusive mountain. If you're willing, I'd love to know the location.
