Be aware that wind and wave conditions on large lakes, such as Gamitagama and Old Woman can pose problems. This is the recommended route to Old Woman Lake. The former route from Mijinemungshing Lake through Mirimoki to Old Woman is impassible due to low water levels. The current low levels on Mijinemungshing Lake are due to a deteriorated dam on the Anjigami River, a relic from the 1920’s logging era. There are two options to complete the entire route: 1.Gamitagama Lake to Old Woman Lake to lower Sand River, downstream to Lake Superior (recommended when the levels on Sand River are sufficient). 2.Sand Lake (via the Algoma Central Railway), down the upper Sand River to Wildcat Lake to Old Woman Lake to Gamitagama Lake (recommended when water levels are low on the Sand River).
