	Ishpatina Ridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ishpatina Ridge is the highest point of land in the Canadian province of Ontario.
		At 693 m above sea level, it is a rather low mountain and not steep, as the surrounding land in the area is already quite elevated.
		Located in Sudbury District of Northeastern Ontario about halfway between Sudbury and Kirkland Lake inside the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park, the mountain is not very accessible; the closest highway is more than 50 km away and roads and trails are scarce in the remote area and difficult to travel in poor weather.

	Ishpatina Ridge - The Highest point in Ontario - June 2006 - Andrew's Website
		Ishpatina Ridge is a low, rounded set of humps on the endless face of the Canadian Shield, about 80 kilometres north of the city of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.
		I'll be honest: Ishpatina Ridge isn't the type of location I'd normally visit.
		Based on information we got from a previous overland trip to Ishpatina, we had some good GPS waypoints and knew where to go (there are a maze of logging roads in this area).

		Ontario can be divided into three major natural regions: the Canadian Shield (also known as the Laurentian Plateau), which cuts a wide swath across the center of the province; the Hudson Bay Lowlands to the north; and the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Lowlands, which form the southernmost region.
		The Hudson Bay Lowlands in the north sit atop sedimentary rocks, mainly limestone, and dip gently northward from the Canadian Shield toward the shore of Hudson Bay.
		The most notable topographical feature of the Great Lakes Lowlands is the Niagara Escarpment, a high ridge of limestone cliffs that runs about 400 km (250 mi), north from Niagara Falls through the Bruce Peninsula to the Manitoulin Islands in Lake Huron.

	Canadian Canoe Routes - Route Description
		Ishpatina Ridge, situated in the heart of Northern Ontario`s Temagami wilderness, is the highest point in the province.
		The trail to Ishpatina Ridge starts off politely enough but as it progresses up the hill it becomes narrower and a fair bit steeper near the top.
		We did have a couple of trees that were down and someone had cut them to allow easy passage: a little bow saw would have been good foresight although not necessary this time.
