Yup, I believe that it is the same one. It runs above algonquin park and crosses some of Algonquin parks access points. I looked it up via mapquest's terrain function, an overlay of an algonquin park map, and a map of Canada's hydro lines.

Cool place to go.

If you're going, let me know first!...:evil:
 
I travel north to Bancroft all the time, haven't found any spots that would be ideal for long range target shooting ( apart from the local range which maybe has 100-150 yards max ) then again, I haven't really been looking.

However, If you guys organize something within a two hour drive from my home... I'm in

Two hour drive? You're spoiled, I'm going to be driving from south western ontario. No big deal however, I'm going camping in that area (algonquian) anyways so I'll get two birds with one stone.

I have never had issues safely shooting in this location. I have encountered 2 Conservation Officers outside of hunting season that seemed more interested in my equipment than how far I was shooting. I don't shoot in the fall as the roads pictured are constantly run by 4 wheelers during hunting season. So my respect to them to not cause problems.

There are 3 valleys that you can see. The measured distance out to the farthest point where the road goes over the last hill is 2.4km.

when I first looked at the picture I figured it was the powerline that I have been to off of Major Lake rd just south of Algonquin park, 10 minutes north of Madawaska. That powerline is an awesome place!
 
What an awesome thread! There are definitely quite a few good power line cuts on crown land, in this neck of the woods. Calabogie has one too up behind the golf course. Up near Whitney and Madawaska, there is a little spot called Wallace. There is a generating station there and there is a large powerline cut there too.
 
I think he is referring to the Algonquin Land Claim.
There has been no ruling in the claim as of yet. Here is the effected area they want as a part of their land claim.

I own land within this area. My views are bias upon the subject. One must use their own "google powers" to find out more information.
 
just for the record, you can shoot larger calibers then .270 for target in southern ontario, you just cant hunt with them.

never had a problem, had a noise complaint one time with the .308's and the cops came and said they had to show up, checked all the registrys (back then) then left.

Google this. 185 3 Addington Rd, Cloyne, ON K0H 1K0

Google maps will take you to the hwy 41 entrance to the Lingham lake corridor. Play with satalite and terrain views to get a feel for the area. This is the most expansive crown land area in Southern Ontario. Not a single residence within many miles. You can see clear line of sight for kilometres.


Edit: here is a sat pic. You can see hwy 41 on the right and 62 on the left. The wide stripe is the hydro corridor. It is approx 200 yards wide.

There's also a corridor that runs from Minden to Whitney. I've been eyeballing it for a while but I'm not going to bother with it for now. I'm down to an SKS and a 17 HRM so long range isn't so long for me now.
