This is one of my favorite areas to fish and the wild mostly undeveloped of Superior’s shores are spectacular. I usually hike in to a river and camp but an RV would certainly be more comfortable, especially during the frequent spring all day rains. One area to concentrate on is the Nippigon River and Red Bay. You can wade this area but a boat provides access to the Slate Islands in Lake Superior for Coasters and Lakers and the Upper Nippigon River and its Island channels for brook trout. A guided trip here would be a great idea to learn the water which can be hazardous to navigate.

 

thanks
forgot to mention we have a pair of fat e-bikes to get around if parking an RV isn't practical, but bike travel is

 

I have looked into this type of thing a little bit. There are a few websites out there that will list parking spots for RV's and such. Some have services, some are free and some are just crown land, which if you are a Canadian citizen are free to use up to a time period then you must move. Non-citizens have a small fee. There are also list of water and dump station if you use crown land. Again, some are free, some not. It's definitely doable. You just need to line up spots with the area you want to fish/visit.

I will try and find the list for you. I did have it around here somewhere.

Edit: Found some info for you to do it free or on the cheap. Rather than hot linking I will message you with a list. If anybody else wants it let me know.

 

I did a similar trip, but only as far west as Wawa. Northern Ontario, that area in particular, is amongst my most favourite anywhere, and I've travelled quite a bit...

We stayed at a local bear camp, but as mentioned, mostly all crown land, and there shouldn't be a problem with a RV--in fact, we saw several, and I always do when I go up that way.

Between the Soo and Wawa at least, you'll certainly want to concentrate on the mouths and first few hundred yards of rive for steelhead and coasters. Which is also where you'll find the easiest parking access for your RV.

 

thanks for all the info
i guess what i really need are about a 1/2 dozen guaranteed spots for parking & fishing
once i have those plotted out i can fill the rest
anyone want to give up some of their favourite spots?

 

Bahahaaha.. Not likely on a public forum however, There is a destination forum scroll through that you may find some tidbits

 

i'm not looking for their favourite, favourite spots, just spots where i can park the RV and fish close by
it really helps to know that you have a spot rather than driving to check things out
it's possible to run out of daylight w/o finding a good spot to park & that isn't fun

 

I know the area between TBay and Marathon. Just pull over next to the bridge and get fishing. Might get a bit loud in the evening with trucks, so bring ear plugs. The popular rivers with have larger parking areas. Rainbow Falls Prov Park has a nice developed camping area, or at least it used to. You can alway follow a forest road and camp in Crown Land but it might be tight in that RV. Plus, those things aren't meant to drive on a washboard road for any distance. Hope CA opens soon but I doubt it. I've seen a lot of country and the NS is among the best.
