Nagagamisis Provincial Park

Nagagamisis Provincial Park is a nature reserve in northern Ontario that surrounds the lake of the same name and extends along the Foch and Nagagami Rivers with sandy shores and clear water. The area includes coastal zones, different forest habitats, and waterways that form a connected ecosystem.

The Ontario government established this park in 1957 to protect the landscape and expanded it multiple times over the following decades. Its current size was defined in 2005 when a land use strategy added more territory to its boundaries.

The name comes from the Cree language and refers to the lake with fine sandy shores, reflecting the Indigenous presence that has shaped this region for over a thousand years. Local communities have long considered this place a vital part of their territory.

The park offers camping spots throughout the year at different comfort levels, with facilities like toilets and showers typically available from May through September. Visitors should check ahead about which areas and services are open during their intended visit.

The park protects forest areas that have never been logged or commercially used, preserving original vegetation and habitat for rare animals like woodland caribou. These untouched zones are hard to find across North America and represent a significant ecological value.
