Opémican National Park, National park between Lake Témiscamingue and Lake Kipawa in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Canada.
Opémican National Park is a protected area between Lake Témiscamingue and Lake Kipawa, spanning about 252 square kilometers across four distinct sectors. Tall white and red pines grow throughout, with forests, lakes, and river landscapes defining the terrain.
The park was established in 2013 to preserve nearly a century of logging along Lake Témiscamingue. Heritage buildings and structures from that era remain visible, telling the story of how people once worked this land.
The waterways hold deep connections to Anishinabeg communities, who share their relationship with the land through guided experiences and educational programs. You can sense this living cultural bond when exploring the park's waters.
The area provides camping sites, canoe and kayak rentals, and hiking trails of varying difficulty. The best time to visit is from May through October, when weather is pleasant and all facilities are fully operational.
The area sits at the natural boundary between deciduous and boreal forests, creating a rare diversity of plants and animals. This ecological crossroads makes it possible to experience two distinct forest types during a single visit.
