Ontario snowmobile ride includes stop at White Otter Castle
This Winter That Wasn’t has been a disaster for snowmobile enthusiasts, but Ross Spoonland of Park River, N.D. (pictured), logged 677 miles Jan. 29-30 when he joined Paul Robinson of Winnipeg for a trek across northwestern Ontario. “We left Kenora on Sunday morning (Jan. 29), traveling trails through Vermilion Bay, Dryden, Sioux Lookout, Ignace and into Atikokan,” Spoonland writes. “We stayed overnight in Atikokan, returning to Kenora late Monday. Snow and trail conditions were excellent, and the scenery was spectacular.” The ride included a stop at White Otter Castle, a three-storey log house built in the early 1900s by an eccentric hermit. According to Spoonland, the castle is located in a remote area that’s accessible only by boat or snowmobile. “It was an amazing building to see and go through,” he said.
