"And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul" - John Muir
Our mission is to conserve the unique beauty and ecological integrity of key areas within the Algoma Highlands region, creating sanctuaries that protect the ecological function and habitat requirements of many native plant and animal species. At the same time, we wish to encourage human access and visitation to these areas both for low impact recreational use and enhanced understanding and appreciation of the natural wonders of the highlands area. All those interested in bird watching, wildlife photography, silent sport recreation, or simply communing with nature to clear the mind and soothe the soul are encouraged to join us in our conservation efforts.
The Algoma Highlands Conservancy has four fundamental principles: Conservation, Silent Sport Recreation, Sustainable Forestry, and Environmental Education and Research.
Welcome to one of North America's premiere X-Country Ski Resorts. Well known in the winter, Stokely's best kept secret is that when the snow melts, it becomes the jumpoff point for world class trail running bliss.
With over 160 km of diverse single and double track terrain, by the end of the day this backcountry network of groomed and not so groomed trail, will etch itself in your memory forever.
Nestled amongst the tumbling waterfalls of Stokely Creek let this intricate network of old world chalets be the start and finish to your epic day on trail at Ultra Trail Stokely Creek.
Be sure to stay the weekend to and enjoy the rugged ambience as you recharge amongst the pristine nature of the Highlands. Booking links below.
Over 8000 acres of pristine back country Northern Ontario wilderness. Too many iconic vistas to count, the trails we have chosen as the backdrop for your journey through the Highlands will simply take your breath away. The serenity of the untouched lakes, massive climbs over the rocky ridges of the daunting Robertson Cliffs and the centrepiece of it all...One of the tallest peaks in all of Ontario, King Mountain. Day hikes for most humans, run one of the ultra distances here and see them all in one shot. We can't wait to show you our backyard.
Whether you are taking your first leap into ultra distances or you are a grizzled veteran that loves to embrace that love hate relationship with the "hurt". All distances at UTSC have a unique charm, certain to test all of your physical and mental faculties. We know you're going to "fall" in love with it, no matter how much you hate it.
We will tell you this much. It is not your average 5K. 3 significant climbs will have your calves hating your decision to race today.
