From my treks around I would have to say you are going to have to head north of Sudbury before you find anything.

Also worth looking at some military maps for locations for Dew line or Pine tree line abandoned radar sites from the cold war days.
Most of these sites are abandoned and you can just walk in. Some exceptions like Falconbridge and North Bay which are still used.
