Atikaki Provincial Park, Provincial wilderness park in eastern Manitoba, Canada
Atikaki Provincial Park covers 3,997 square kilometers of wild terrain featuring granite cliffs, lakes, rivers, and dense boreal forests across the Canadian Shield. The landscape remains completely undeveloped without roads or permanent buildings inside its boundaries.
The area was established as a protected park in 1985 to safeguard the natural landscape and indigenous heritage sites found throughout the region. This designation helped ensure the wilderness would remain unchanged for future generations.
Ancient rock paintings created by indigenous peoples remain visible along the waterways and serve as reminders of human presence in this landscape. These artworks show how people have connected with this land over time.
The park is accessible only by air or canoe, as no roads or landing areas serve the interior. Visitors should plan ahead and arrange transportation through these specialized access methods.
The name comes from the Ojibwe language and refers to the woodland caribou herds that roam this protected territory. These animals are central to the ecosystem and the park exists partly to safeguard their habitat.
