There is no place quite like the Sylvania Wilderness Area, nor will there be. Within its 21,000 acres of virgin Northwoods are 36 pristine lakes and 19 ponds. Short portages connect most of them. The only transportation through the Sylvania Wilderness is by foot or canoe.  The magnetic allure of the Northwoods is reminiscent of the bygone days of the frontier when voyageurs traversed by canoe the endless lake chains of the area. Since the turn of the century, Sylvania was a private estate. Its early owners used the area in such a way that it retained its wilderness character. In 1966 it was purchased by the Federal government and is now part of the Ottawa National Forest. Sylvania Wilderness Outfitters
