he Spanish River has been utilized as a canoe route for hundreds of years. Canada's First Nations formerly used the waterway as a main transportation link between the north shore of Lake Huron and the James Bay watershed. The Hudson Bay Company also has historical trading post sites at various locations along the route including Lake Pogamasing and Lake Biscotasi. Grey Owl, the famous conservationist and author, paddled its waters on many occasions during his time spent in the small town of Biscotasing, located at the headwaters of the Wild West Branch of the Spanish River. The Spanish River now serves as a popular canoe-tripping destination for all levels of paddlers. This beautiful river has gained the reputation of being a perfect introduction to whitewater with gentle rapids, attractive flatwater sections and scenic shoreline. To the delight of many, both the east and west branches of the Spanish are now protected as a Waterway Provincial Park, which includes one of the largest remaining stands of Red and White Pine forests in the world. With proper management, this river will be enjoyed by generations of canoeists for years to come.
