Nopiming Provincial Park

Nopiming Provincial Park is a nature reserve in Manitoba containing more than 700 lakes surrounded by granite outcrops and dense forests of black spruce, birch, and poplar. The landscape is shaped by these forest types and the numerous bodies of water that define the park's character.

The park territory contains abandoned mine shafts and equipment from Manitoba's gold rush period in the 1930s at locations like Lucky Strike and Paystreak. These remnants show an earlier period of economic activity that shaped the region.

The name Nopiming comes from the Anishinabe language and means entrance to the wilderness, reflecting the Indigenous connection to this land. This naming reminds visitors that the area has long held meaning for the original peoples of the region.

The park offers four designated camping areas at Beresford, Bird, Black Lakes, and Tulabi Falls, with additional accommodation at three fishing lodges. Visitors should prepare for wet conditions and insects, especially in warmer months when these elements become more challenging.

The park serves as a seasonal home for woodland caribou while year-round supporting populations of moose, bears, and bald eagles. This mix of wildlife makes it an important location for observing animals across different seasons.
