(Viewed 1052 times) Fyrestarter  Location: The Netherlands  |  Ghost Towns in Northern Canada? < on 1/17/2011 1:24 PM >   Thought I would just poll the masses here. Anyone know of current and worthwhile ghost towns in Northern Quebec and Ontario? I would expect to find a lot more considering the state mining practices. victoria-  Location: The Great North, Ontario Gender: Female  |  Re: Ghost Towns in Northern Canada? <Reply # 1 on 1/17/2011 3:07 PM >   http://en.wikipedi...t_towns_in_Ontario cdevon  Location: west county Gender: Male  |  |  Re: Ghost Towns in Northern Canada? <Reply # 2 on 1/17/2011 7:26 PM >   schefferville quebec. go check out my old house for me. When I say I'm 'clean and sober', it means I've showered and I'm headed to the liquor store.

Its an hour or so from Thunder Bay and easy enough to find. albeit relatively boring. "Dane, what the hell is a 'sanitarium?'" "Don't know, why?" "We're in one."

It's not like what you'd see in, say California. The best one was probably Beren's River which had housing, railway equipment, a small jail and even a bowling alley. It existed up until a few years ago when most of it was demolished. From 35mm slides (circa 1980's) 1. 2. 3. 4. Also in Northern Ontario are mines to explore of course with plenty of industrial equipment and buildings on site.

JoeCat, is Burchell Lake worth a trip at all? I'll be in Thunderbay so it is feasible if there is anything left worth exploring. Anything left of the copper mine?

The Government cleaned that up long ago, its just a gavel pit now. There are plenty of homes left, a crumbling school house and a gas station. plus some other goodies for you to find. Part of the area is used by cottagers but stay out of their way/out of sight and youll be fine. overall its an okay way to spend an afternoon. "Dane, what the hell is a 'sanitarium?'"
