Nestled on the shore of Ajawaan Lake, Grey Owl’s Cabin was built in 1931, home of the famed wilderness writer and conservation advocate Grey Owl (born Archie Belaney) and his beaver companions. The rustic log cabin, accompanied by a second, small upper cabin added in 1932, remains today as a preserved back-country landmark accessible only by a 20-kilometre hike or a canoe/boat trip via Kingsmere Lake plus a portage. It offers a peek into Grey Owl’s life and his early-day efforts for wildlife conservation.
