Tim River Algonquin Provincial Park Access

The Tim River Access Point (Access Point #2) is a backcountry canoe launch located on the west side of Algonquin Provincial Park. To reach it, turn east off Highway 11 at Emsdale onto Highway 518, pass through Kearney, continue for 14.

4 km, then turn right onto Forestry Tower Road and follow it 19 km to the river. Tim Lake lies approximately 2 km downstream (east) of the put-in.

The access point connects paddlers to the Tim River corridor and, via portage routes, to the broader western interior of the park.

It is noted as a good entry point for reaching the Nipissing River, which is regarded as one of Algonquin's better waterways for spring brook trout fishing.

The western access points in this area generally see fewer crowds than the more heavily used Highway 60 corridor. The access point office serving this location is situated in Kearney on Highway 518.
