Summary
A beautiful lake west of Calabogie with a number of rock outcrops and cliff faces.
Access issues
The cliffs are located on the traditional lands of the Algonquin people and are situated on MNR managed crownland. Please respect the land and its resources. Follow strict Leave No Trace practices. Be mindful of locals and cottagers along the gravel road: drive slowly! Respect the recommended closures during the fall hunting season. And do not risk a fire at the crags – it’s not worth it!
Approach
From Calabogie Peaks head west on 508 for 9km until it turns into Hydro Dam Rd. Continue straight for another 6km until you reach the huge Mountain Chute hydroelectric dam. Cross the bridge and continue on Mountain Chute Rd. At the large intersection turn left onto Norcan Lake Lane. Continue on the gravel cottage road for 3km to an obvious pull-off on the left side just before a narrow causeway. 45.174741, -76.885498 / https://goo.gl/maps/2r4yaTs6cEUUKL5T9. Park well off the road; be mindful of folks who might show up later to use the campsite.
