Wabakimi Provincial Park

Wabakimi Provincial Park is a vast wilderness area in northern Ontario featuring extensive forests dotted with interconnected lakes and rivers. These waterways create diverse natural habitats that support a range of plants and animals throughout the region.

The area gained official provincial park status in 1983, establishing protection for the northern Ontario wilderness. This designation represented a major step in preserving the landscape for future generations.

The land and waters here hold deep meaning for Indigenous communities who continue to practice traditional ways of life in this territory.

Visitors can paddle through numerous water routes and find camping areas and basic lodges scattered throughout for overnight stays. Those planning to visit should have strong paddling skills and wilderness navigation experience.

The park contains one of North America's largest networks of wilderness paddling routes. Visitors can travel hundreds of kilometers across connected lakes and rivers while staying in remote backcountry terrain.
