Purdy Mica Mine

sledder at Purdy Mica Mine

Point of Interest #3 on the Explorers Snow Tour is the old Purdy Mica Mine. Bring a flashlight and leave your helmet on—it can get pretty slippery in the winter. You’ll find it on the A112A OFSC snowmobile trail. It’s very well signed as it lies on the boundary between the North Bay Snowmobile Club and the Mattawa and Area Snowmobile Club. It’s also located on private property, so practice proper trail etiquette—pack out what you pack in.
