The Ishpatina Ridge is the highest mountain in the Canadian province of Ontario. It is a rather low mountain as the land in the area is already quite elevated.
Located about halfway between Sudbury and Kirkland Lake, the mountain is not very accessible; the closest highway is more than 50 km away and roads and trails are scarce in the remote area.
The name "Ishpatina" comes from an Ojibwe language word ishpadinaa, meaning "high place".
