Solace Provincial Park

Solace Provincial Park covers boreal forest with narrow lakes running north to south, separated by steep forest-covered ridges. The landscape is rugged and remote, with ten designated backcountry campsites scattered throughout for wilderness visitors.

The park was established in 1989 to protect a network of traditional water routes used by Indigenous communities for thousands of years. These waterways served as vital transportation corridors between lakes, maintained across generations.

This park is part of the Temagami region, where ancient portage trails called nastawgan connect lakes across territories that hold deep meaning for Indigenous peoples. Visitors can still travel these historic water routes today and experience the connection to those communities.

Visitors need either a canoe or floatplane to enter the park, as there is no road access to the area. It is important to register in advance and prepare for remote conditions and minimal facilities.

The park connects to a network of waterways in the Temagami region that reaches some of northern Ontario's highest terrain. This elevated landscape is uncommon in backcountry parks of the area and gives the place distinct geography.
