Frontenac Provincial Park, Provincial park in Frontenac County, Canada
The 5,350-hectare Frontenac Provincial Park contains 22 lakes, mixed forests, wetlands, and granite outcrops within the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve.
Before becoming a protected area in 1974, the land supported indigenous Algonquin communities, followed by European settlers who attempted farming on the rocky terrain.
The park offers wilderness education programs teaching visitors essential outdoor skills including navigation techniques and first aid procedures in natural settings.
Visitors can access 160 kilometers of hiking trails and 51 backcountry camping sites, while engaging in activities such as canoeing, kayaking, and fishing throughout the year.
The park sits on the Frontenac Axis, a geological formation extending from the Canadian Shield to the Adirondack Mountains, featuring rocks dating back 2.1 billion years.
