Overview:
Blackspruce Lake Peak is a remote peak in the Algoma Wilderness, northeast of the Agawa Canyon. The mountain is the easternmost member of a group of peaks, which includes another 2100 footer; Parch Creek Peak East. Blackspruce Lake which gives the mountain it’s name, drains into Blackspruce Creek, which winds it’s way west into the Agawa River at the Algoma Central Railway.

Proposed Route::
There is no marked trail up Blackspruce Lake Peak, however satellite images (Google Maps/Earth and GeoBase) show a network of dirt / logging roads which start east of Wawa at Highway 101 (N47 56.391 W84 28.820) and wind 65.7 km south to a road that terminates 1.7 km from the peak. The remaining 1.7 km would be a bushwhack to the summit.
