NORTHWEST ONTARIO PARKS |
|
 Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park Photo by A. Kregosky Thunder Bay This sheer-walled canyon shelters rare Arctic-alpine plants along its boulder laden floor, where snow often persists until late spring. There is a network of boardwalks and trails |
|
| Aaron Provincial Park Sandy beaches, playgrounds and the clear, shallow waters of ancient Thunder Lake near Dryden make Aaron an ideal family stop for swimming, boating and fishing. Hiking trails wind through white cedar and aspen forests, and double as ski trails in winter. Spring is great for trout fishing. Dryden - Google Map |
Agassiz Peatlands Agassiz Peatlands features black spruce muskeg, string bogs, richly forested swamps, peatland and wildflower-filled fens. The area closely resembles a prairie. Rainy River |
| Albert Lake Mesa Three types of landforms -- moraine, mesa and cuesta -- all in one region. A cuesta is a hill or ridge, with a steep face on one side, and a gentle slope on the other. The park is home to many species of liverwort plants and lichens, some rare, and the locally uncommon sharp-tailed grouse. Armstrong |
Arrowhead Peninsula Mixed boreal forest, including some mature red and white pine stands no longer common in the region. Thunder Bay |
| Blue Lake Blue Lake boasts a long, sandy beach and water so clear you can see the bottom at six metres. Take a hike with park naturalists through a spruce fen and stands of majestic pines, over ancient bedrock, past lady's slipper orchids and blueberry bushes. Kenora/Dryden - Google Map |
Bonheur River Kame This nature reserve features a spectacular moulin kame rising more than 80 metres above a peat-covered plain. A moulin kame is a cone-shaped hill of gravel and small rounded boulders deposited by glacial meltwaters falling through a circular hole in the ice. Ignace |
| Butler Lake In many lakes, especially those near ice-sheets, formations called varves -- banded layers of silt and sand -- are deposited annually. Course and pale material is left in summer, while finer, darker material is left in winter. One light band and one dark band make up a varve. Just as tree rings may be counted to reveal the age of a tree, varved layers of clay may be counted to determine the age of a glacial deposit. Dryden |
Caliper Lake Excellent swimming and fishing. Its clean, warm waters are home to northern pike, walleye, smallmouth bass and sometimes nesting pelicans. N. Fort Frances - Google Map |
| Cavern Lake An intriguing assortment of geological and biological elements explains why this area above Lake Superior's north shore has been given special protection. The area features a rocky canyon outcrop covered in rare arctic-alpine plants. Also found here is a large cave occupied by colonies of bats. The natural environment of the reserve is considered to be so vulnerable that visitors are discouraged. Thunder Bay - Google Map |
Craig's Pit Fanning out at the base of the Pic River bedrock valley, above Lake Superior's beautiful north shore, is a sand and gravel delta complex. Sunk into the delta are kettles -- wet and dry depressions formed by melted glacial ice. One of these kettles is Craig's Pit. The terrain also features high bluffs, on top of which eagles and hawks nest. Marathon |
| Divide Ridge This patch of Superior-region topography has been protected as a nature reserve because it is a gently sloping, wave-washed section of Proterozoic rock -- 2.5 billion years old -- situated above an escarpment. Atop this unusual geology is a mosaic of vegetation associated with white pine and interspersed with lichen barrens. Thunder Bay |
Edward Island Edward Island is a low-lying island, densely covered with boreal forest. Geologists and rockhounds can have a field day here, locating specimens of Paleohelikian, Southern Province, volcanic and sedimentary rocks, not to mention the type section for the lower member of the Osler Group. Volcanic flows and basalt sheets intermingle with till from ancient Lake Wisconsin and recent cobble beaches. Thunder Bay |
| Fraleigh Lake The park is interesting as a snapshot of a naturally changing wilderness landscape. Two small lakes are the central feature of interest in the park, because they are in the process of vanishing -- filling in and disappearing through a process of natural succession. The area is further marked by steep cliffs, marshes, bogs and swamps. Thunder Bay |
Gravel River This nature reserve features a lazy, meandering river that neatly cuts into its own deltaic sands, deposited over many centuries. The river has a good example of a bird's-foot delta -- a fan of sediments at a river's mouth dissected by tributaries, giving the impression of a webbed bird's foot. Terrace Bay |
| Kabitotikwia River The Kabitotikwia River is a meandering river that appears to turn corners on a dime. Some of the river bends are actually square, at neat right angles, due to the special characteristics of the deposits through which it flows. The park contains a variety of wetlands such as fluvial marsh, treed fen, low shrub fen, and a "graminoid" fen that is filled with an assortment of grasses. Armstrong |
Kaiashk Classic moraine topography extends across this nature reserve with post-glacial features such as a kame knoll, outwash plain, and troughs. Armstrong |
| Kakabeka Falls Kakabeka Falls plunges 40 metres over sheer cliffs and some of the oldest fossils in the world. Get a bird's-eye view from jutting platforms and trails along the gorge. Trace voyageurs' steps around the falls in this history-rich park. Thunder Bay - Google Map |
Kama Hill Unusual, red-purple rock called mudstone characterizes this nature reserve. This outcropping of unusual rock is significant to geologists. It is a member of the Sibley Group which was formed in the Proterozoic era, 2.5 billion years ago. Nipigon |
| Kashabowie The park features post-glacial features from the Wisconsian Age (10,000 years ago). These include an esker complex, outwash apron, and a glaciated lake spillway. The bedrock around Kashabowie wears a mantle of glacial till, interspersed with loess -- deposits of fine, yellowish-grey gravel and loam. Bogs, swamps, marshes, forests, and thickets fill in other areas of this natural environment. Thunder Bay |
Lake of the Woods The park lies within a transition zone where three distinct natural environments meet -- northern, southern and prairie. The forest is a jumble of species, with southern hardwoods such as elm, ash and basswood growing next to Manitoba maples, and northern spruce and jackpine. The mix of species also shows up in the park's birdlife. The most far from home are pelicans, who have colonized several remote islands and waterways in the park as permanent nesting grounds. Other winged strays include the yellow-headed blackbird and the western meadowlark, both Prairie birds. You'll also spot the scarlet tanager, redheaded woodpecker and Baltimore oriole, all usually found further south. Rainy River |
| Lake Nipigon About one billion years ago, molten rock called diabase oozed up through cracks in the earth's crust. The diabase contained a dark green mineral called pyroxene. Broken down into fine granules and dispersed by the elements, much of the diabase eventually settled to the bottom of Lake Nipigon. Today, it continues to be washed ashore by wave action, forming the black sandy beaches for which the park is known. Nipigon - Google Map |
Le Pate A 250-hectare hexagonal section on the western side of Pie Island in Lake Superior. On Pie Island, greywackes and a layer of shale underlie a colossal circular mesa with caprock some 90 metres thick. Of volcanic origin, the mesa consists of dark, coarse, durable rock that helps protect the underlying sedimentary rock from erosion. Thunder Bay |
| Little Greenwater Lake The Brule Creek moraine and a small delta are some of the Wisconsinan glacial landforms protected within this nature reserve. Thunder Bay |
Livingston Point This remote and relatively undisturbed reserve contains some regionally rare artic and alpine plants. W. Geraldton |
| Lola Lake The great Canadian prairie begins not in Manitoba but in northwestern Ontario, and sweeps westward to the foothills of the Rockies. Lola Lake Nature Reserve protects an extensive peat plain that rests upon a sedimentary sand plain. Beneath this are various forms of early Precambrian bedrock of sedimentary and igneous origin. The nature reserve also features terraces and clays from two vanished, postglacial lakes; a moraine outwash; and a variety of bogs. Dryden |
MacLeod Named after an abandoned gold mine, this park on a peninsula in Kenogamisis Lake offers excellent swimming, walleye and pike fishing in its bays and marshes. If you're lucky, you'll see the northern lights. Geraldton |
| Minnitaki Kames Interesting glacial features in this nature reserve include several well-pronounced east-west kames (elongated ridges of gravel) and numerous wave-cut terraces. Sioux Lookout |
Nakina Moraine The park protects a section of the Nakina End Moraine, characterized by esker complexes and associated outwash fan marked by drainage channels, eskers, kettles holes, and lacustrine clay and silt deposits. Longlac |
| Neys Immortalized on canvas by The Group of Seven, this remote and rugged peninsula promises silhouettes of rocky islands polished smooth by icy blue waters. Only the hardy survive here, including sub-Arctic plants and a rare herd of woodland caribou. Enjoy one the finest beaches on Lake Superior's north shore Marathon - Google Map |
Ojibway Tranquil and wild, this retreat on Little Vermilion Lake offers good swimming, a sandy beach and fine muskellunge fishing. Trails weave through pine forests carpeted with lady's slipper orchids and along shorelines past wild rice. Listen carefully for the wolf's howl at night. Dryden - Google Map |
| Ouimet Canyon This sheer-walled canyon shelters rare Arctic-alpine plants along its boulder laden floor, where snow often persists until late spring. From two platforms and a network of boardwalks and trails, view this spectacular gorge and feel the air rising from the depths. Thunder Bay - Google Map |
Opasquia Straddling the Manitoba border, this park supports a large concentration of wolverines. But the reason it has been protected as a wilderness park has more to do with its distinctive geology. A ridge of glacial till two kilometres wide rises 100 metres above its surroundings here. This is the Opasquia Moraine. On the sides of the moraine, wave-cut terraces and segments of raised shoreline indicate the former limit of glacial Lake Agassiz. The dominant tree species is spruce, growing alongside scattered poplar, tamarack, birch, and ash. N. Red Lake |
| Pakwash Secluded and serene, this northern park guarantees a sandy beach and shallow, warm waters ideal for swimming, fishing and canoeing. Watch for birds and other wildlife on trails that meander past beaver ponds, through wetlands and forest. Red Lake - Google Map |
Pantagruel Creek Pantagruel Creek forms part of the Kaiashk Spillway which deposited glacial Lake Agassiz outwash sand and gravel on top of a previously established moraine and eskers about 9,000 years ago. Armstrong |
| Pigeon River Bur oak, red maple, black ash, and white elm are southern types of tree that mingle with the predominant species of the boreal forest. Downy woodpeckers and yellow-shafted flickers are among the birds that dart through the bush. Large mammals such as moose, white-tailed deer, black bear, and wolves also inhabit the area, but are seen less frequently than smaller animals, such as red squirrels and chipmunks. Thunder Bay - Google Map |
Porphyry Island The nature reserve is on the southern margin of the boreal forest. Its interior supports a mixed forest dominated by white birch in the south and balsam fir in the north. Wetlands with concentrations of black spruce are also found here. Lichens are commonly seen draping mature trees and as barrens intermixed with hardy flowering plants along rocky shorelines. The rocky shores also support arctic species, like encrusted saxifrage, insectivorous butterwort and the sedge. Of greater interest is the presence of devil's club in the forest. Populations of this thorny shrub here, and on adjacent islands, are the only known occurrences east of the Rocky Mountains. Thunder Bay |
| Puff Island This rugged island in Lake Superior is part of the Canadian Shield -- with one important distinction. The island features a 10-metre-thick wedge of metasedimentary rock, called "Puff Island conglomerate". Occurring along the northeastern part of the island, this wedge is of immense interest to geologists as it represents the only known occurrence in Canada of what is called the "Upper Osler Group Sedimentary Sequence." Nipigon |
Quetico The park's tangled network of lakes once formed water routes travelled by Ojibway and fur traders. Now it is primarily the destination of experienced canoeists seeking solitude and rare glimpses of wildlife by cascading waterfalls, glassy lakes and endless forests. Thunder Bay - Google Map |
| Rainbow Falls Cascading waters plunge over the rock ledges of Rainbow Falls on their way to Lake Superior. Trails, including the Casque-Isles section of the Voyageur Trail, lead to panoramic views. Choose to camp near the beaches of Whitesand Lake or along the rugged shore of Lake Superior at the Rossport Campground. Terrace Bay - Google Map |
Red Sucker Point Along the shores of this nature reserve is a notable series of raised cobble beaches. Historic water levels of the lake, from ancient to modern times, are visible on the stones. At their greatest height, the beaches tower some 45 metres above the water. Ancient lichen communities thrive on some of the cobblestones. Also present are about 70 excavated rock structures attributed to historic and prehistoric peoples. Marathon |
| Rushing River Rushing River cascades over rock gouged by glaciers in a series of rapids but elsewhere is passable by canoe. A forest fire in 1910 cracked open pine cones and scattered heat-resistant seeds, resulting in trees all the same height around Dogtooth Lake. Canoe routes are easily accessible from the park. Kenora - Google Map |
Sable Islands One of the Sable Islands is an elongated nearshore barrier sandbar, featuring marshes and rounded ("hummocky") sand dunes. The mainland section of this reserve features peat bogs. Like other areas in the extreme western part of the province, the reserve supports a rich variety of plant life that includes rare species with strong prairie affinities. The mixed boreal forest on the mainland contains white cedar, balsam fir, black ash, white birch, poplar, and black spruce. Shrubs, blue-joint grass, and cattails also grow here. The reserve is undeveloped and unspoiled. Rainy River |
| Sandbar Lake Sandbar Lake, the largest of 10 lakes in this park just off the Trans-Canada Highway, has a fine sandy beach with spotted sandpipers, and excellent walleye and pike fishing. It's a starting point for canoeists seeking challenging routes. Look for lynx and painted turtles, erratic boulders and an esker. Ignace - Google Map |
Sandpoint Island Depending on currents and the shaped of a shoreline, waves will sometimes deposit silt, sand, and gravel at a particular spot. This gives rise, over the course of millennia to a "tombolo". A tombolo is a sandbridge connecting one island to another, or to a mainland. A tombolo is what saved Presqu'ile (in Lake Ontario) from being just another island. Similarly, a large tombolo has altered the geography of this island in Swell Bay. Tombolos are rare in this region. This one features raised beach ridges that are likely related to phases of ancient Lake Agassiz. Fort Frances |
| Schreiber Channel North America's most diverse, best preserved and internationally known collection of micro-fossils within Precambrian rock is found in this nature reserve. Here, on Lake Superior's North Shore, two strata of Precambrian rock, from the early and middle periods, come together dramatically with nothing whatsoever to show for the interval of roughly 500 million years between them. The microfossils are found within small stromatolitic mounds in a narrow band -- about 37 metres long by eight metres wide -- of rocks of the Gunflint Formation. Schreiber Channel lies in a region of the boreal forest where vegetation is influenced by the Lake Superior coast. Closed deciduous-evergreen forests dominate the steep, rugged slope facing the lake. White birch, trembling aspen and balsam fir are important trees. In the park, open woodlands and sparsely vegetated habitats grow on bare bedrock. Nipigon |
Sedgman Lake An esker-delta complex, plains of sediments from a former lake, hills and ridges of sand and gravel are among the glacial landforms present in the reserve. The reserve also features low rock knolls and extensive wetlands. The lacustrine sands (derived from postglacial Lake Nakina) are rare in the region. N. Geraldton |
| Shesheeb Bay Gently dipping, cooled-lava flows are discernible along the shoreline. The reserve is composed of three distinct coastal areas and a small island. Nipigon |
Sioux Narrows Rich in history, the narrows is the site of an Ojibway battle with Sioux warriors and only a boat ride away from ancient, red ochre pictographs. Visitors flock to this park on Lake of the Woods for some of the best fishing in Ontario and for boating, swimming, sailing and canoeing. Kenora - Google Map |
| Silver Falls his park is distinctive for its collection of Holocene-era features. These occurred within the last 10 000 years, and include the Dog Lake moraine, kettle terraces, spillways, and outwash deposits. Thunder Bay |
Slate Islands This group of rugged islands is one of the places where woodland caribou still roam. The islands are also home to beaver, hare, fox and various shorebirds. Remnants of two native settlements, as well as a former timber operation, are located here. The islands are covered with a southern boreal forest with some arctic-alpine flora. For the most part, the rock is early Precambrian of volcanic and sedimentary origin. There has been speculation that the central islands are the remains of an ancient meteorite. Marathon |
On the southern tip of this rugged peninsula near Thunder Bay lies the legendary Sleeping Giant. Venture deep into its boreal forests to experience the backcountry, or follow its rugged trails to the top of the giant for unbeatable views of Lake Superior. Look for deer, moose and other large mammals in the park's vast forests and lowlands. Whether you are hiking along lush green paths or gliding over snowy trails, the beauty of this park will leave you spellbound. |
|
| Trout Lake The nature reserve features a good example of a glacial moraine. A moraine is a pile of rocky and sandy debris left behind when a glacier melts or retreats. Red Lake - Google Map |
Wabakimi Wabakimi is pure northern grandeur - dense boreal forest and Canadian Shield. It is larger than Prince Edward Island and home to woodland caribou, moose, eagles and wolves. Visitors can fly in to remote lodges and camps to sport fish, or enter the park by train and more quietly by canoe. Armstrong - Google Map |
| Windigo Bay Topographic features here include the bluffs of an ancient glacial shoreline and windblown dunes on sand plains. This protected area lies along a migration corridor for woodland caribou. Armstrong |
Windigo Point This nature reserve is notable for its large stand of red pines growing at the northern limit of their range. Dryden |
| Winnange Lake Bedrock knolls and ridges, sedimentary deposits, and wave-washed bedrock are calling cards of the postglacial Lake Agassiz that once covered this area. This rugged tract of land, which surrounds Winnange Lake, also features many ponds and swamps, and a 500-metre-long sand beach Dryden |
Woodland Caribou This northern wilderness "where nature still rules" is so remote that canoe trippers and sport fishing enthusiasts can penetrate its interior and reach its backcountry campsites and outpost lodges only by water or by air. Home to one of the largest herds of woodland caribou south of Hudson Bay, this weathered Arctic watershed, once travelled by fur traders, promises ancient pictographs, howling wolves under starry skies, soaring eagles, solitude and adventure. Red Lake |
NORTHEAST ONTARIO PARKS |
|
Sub-arctic conditions prevail in the park, which is the domain of woodland caribou, moose, marten, fox, beaver, goose, black bear, and polar bear. Seals, walruses, beluga and white whales frequent coastal and esturial areas. As many as 200 polar bears lumber through coastal areas at certain times. The peak period is early November. In late spring, hundreds of species of bird descend upon the region. White geese can be seen rising gracefully above the sear barren. |
|
| Adam Creek A section of Adam Creek, where it flows into the Matagami River, has been designated a nature reserve. It is the most accessible part of what is, for geologists, a definitive example of early-to-middle Wisconsin Kipling till -- clay, sand, boulders, and gravel deposited by a glacier 10,000 years ago. S. Moosonee |
Coral Rapids The thickest exposure of Devonian bedrock in the Moose River basin lies within this nature reserve. At its maximum thickness14 metres of rock is exposed. Also visible, is the type section for what geologists refer to as the Devonian Aged Stooping River formation. Its relationship with the underlying and overlying formations are also exposed. These rocks are 400 hundred million years old. S. Moosonee |
| Dana-Jowsey Lakes he shoreline of Dana Lake is distinguished by several mature stands of red and white pine. There are no visitor facilities. The park offers fishing, swimming, boating and hiking. Timmins - Google Map |
Esker Lakes Straddling the great continental divide between Arctic and Atlantic watersheds, this park preserves the legacy of glaciers that retreated 10,000 years ago - dozens of kettle lakes, part of the famous 250-kilometre Munroe esker, undulating hills and sand dunes. Now cloaked in forest, this fascinating landscape can be intimately explored along a network of hiking trails. E. Timmins - Google Map |
| Five Mile Lake Silt deposits from a glacial lake, and a braided esker complex from a vanished glacial river, are the outstanding natural features of this small park. An esker is a narrow, winding ridge of gravel or sand, deposited by the melting waters under a glacier. S.E. White River |
Frederick House Lake In many lakes, especially those near ice-sheets, formations called varves -- banded layers of silt and sand -- are deposited annually. These sediment layers, laid down by the lake over many years, reveal bands of light and dark material. When the layers are counted they suggest the age of the deposit and can tell much about the history of the lake in the immediate post-glacial era. This nature reserve contains the type section for the Connaught varved clays of the Barlow-Ojibwa Formation. N. Timmins |
| Fushimi Lake A popular fishing spot for 800 years, this quiet lake north of Hearst still teems with walleye and northern pike. Fishing is the biggest lure, but the tranquil setting also attracts campers yearning to see wildlife large and small or the dazzling brilliance of the northern lights at night. Hearst - Google Map |
Greenwater Except for a few derelict buildings, no signs remain of the farming and logging that cleared this park near Cochrane. Boreal forest surrounds the glacially formed 26 kettle lakes and eskers where you can paddle quietly on the green waters, fish for stocked trout or follow trails for signs of birds and furry wildlife. Cochrane - Google Map |
| Ivanhoe Lake A long, curving lip of sandy beach with warm, shallow water for swimming beckons families with young children to this lake between Chapleau and Timmins. This park is a popular spot for family holidays, fishing trips and canoe outings. Hike alone or with park naturalists to a bog and kettle lakes, or paddle on your own to a favourite spot for viewing moose. W. Timmins - Google Map |
Kap-Kig-Iwan The Englehart River plunges down whitewater rapids, over a waterfall (Kap-Kig-Iwan in Ojibway), past rugged rock outcrops, through deep ravines and by flats of colourful wildflowers in this picturesque park near Englehart. Hiking, birdwatching and spring fishing are excellent. E. Timmins - Google Map |
| Kettle Lakes This park near Timmins is dotted with 22 deep, spring-fed kettle lakes - reachable by trails and roads - where you can swim, paddle or fish. Whether you come for the day or camp overnight, you are welcome to enjoy the many beaches and take part in summer programs. After the snow falls, try our cross-country skiing and snowshoe trails. Timmins - Google Map |
La Motte Lake An area of second growth mixed forest. S. Timmins |
| Michipicoten Post Here, on a flat sandy delta, lie the ruins of a French trading post that operated from the early 1700s until it was abandoned by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1904. S.E. White River |
Negagamisis Anglers return year after year to this secluded lake north of Hornepayne, which leads to challenging canoe routes on the Nagagami and Shekak rivers. Cree for "lake with fine, sandy shores," Nagagamisis offers a true northern experience with good fishing and swimming, majestic sunsets, and beautiful campsites nestled in a mature forest. W. Hearst - Google Map |
| North Driftwood River This tiny, isolated slice of a river channel north of Cochrane is protected for its geological values, featuring an internationally recognized type section for the North Driftwood Formation. The transitional boundaries with the overlying and underlying sediments, are displayed clearly. Kapuskasing - Google Map |
Obatanga This vast tract of northern wilderness south of the town of White River is laced with 32 sparkling lakes, rivers and streams. The interior, where anglers catch the best walleye, perch and pike, is often accessible only by canoe. Birders have spotted belted kingfishers, bald eagles and osprey here, and moose are common. S.E. White River - Google Map |
| Potholes This nature reserve east of Wawa gets its name from glacial potholes and troughs scooped out of bedrock forming the riverbed of the Kiniwabi River. Stop for a picnic, soak up the scenery or follow a short interpretive trail for a close look at the potholes, and sedges and forbs (flowering plants) growing along the riverbank. S.E. White River - Google Map |
Pushkin Hills What distinguishes this small, hilly nature reserve is a very good section of volcanic rock, part of what is termed the Blake River Group. Made of cooled lava, the pumice rocks exposed here are well preserved despite their age. E. Timmins |
| Renée Brunelle A base for bush pilots for 20 years, much of Remi Lake near Kapuskasing is now a park with four fine sandy beaches, excellent fishing, boating and swimming. Follow Vigilance Trail for details of a 1922 plane crash or take Spruce Lowland Trail to see plant life typical of this fertile clay belt. Kapuskasing - Google Map |
Sextant Rapids The area is notable for its Lamprophyre sills -- slabs of volcanic rock that have been injected into Palaeozoic rock. The lamprohyre sills found here are the youngest known Palaeozoic igneous occurrence in the Moose River Basin. Nearby sedimentary rock contains fossils. S. Moosonee |
| Thackeray Thackery Provincial Nature Reserve protects a significant sequence of Archean metavolcanic rocks of the Kenojevis Group. These rocks lie within the central portion of the Abitibi subprovince of the Canadian Shield. The outcrop provides an unusually clear view of several hundred metres of tholeiitic basalt of varying composition and textures. Composition varies from grey-to-green magnesium rich tholeiite basalt, to black-to-dark green iron rich basalt. Textures exhibit fine grained, massive, pillowed and pillowed-breccia flows to thin fragmental glass tuffs, and other distinct zones. E. Timmins |
The Shoals Sandy shoals, or shallows, make Little Wawa Lake ideal for swimming in this tranquil park near Chapleau. Beyond Little Wawa, canoeists can follow marked portages to picturesque lakes for fishing and backcountry camping. A short trail near the main campground leads to a wetland full of colourful plants. S.E. White River |
| White Lake Inland from cool Lake Superior, White Lake is a sheltered basin with sandy beaches, warm-water swimming and exceptional fishing. Once a rich source of furs and lumber, this park offers natural treasures - orchids and bogs with insect-eating plants - plus educational programs. Embark here for a seven-day canoe trip along the White River. White River - Google Map |
Williams Island This nature reserve includes the southern tip of Williams Island and a section of the adjacent mainland. More than 15 metres of exposed limestone and shale bedrock date back to the Middle Devonian period roughly 355 to 410 million years ago. S. Moosonee |
