Temagami Island

Temagami Island is a community on Lake Temagami in northeastern Ontario. The island has many hiking trails that lead into the old-growth forest that is a mix of large white and red pine trees. The island is the second largest in Lake Temagami, almost the same size as Bear Island. A large copper mine opened on Temagami Island in 1954 called Copperfield's Mine, which was among the purest copper deposits in Canada. The mine closed in 1972.

Temagami Island lies within n'Daki Menan, the homeland of the Teme-Augama Anishnabai, which covers almost 4,000 square miles.

Temagami Island is also home to Camp Wabikon, a residential summer youth camp.
