Nopiming Provincial Park, Provincial nature reserve in Manitoba, Canada.
Nopiming Provincial Park is a provincial park and nature reserve in eastern Manitoba, Canada, marked by granite outcrops, bogs, and forests of black spruce, birch, and poplar. Hundreds of lakes and rivers run through the territory, giving the land a mosaic of water and rock.
In the 1930s, a gold rush drew people into this remote corner of Manitoba, and mines opened at places like Lucky Strike and Paystreak. The activity ended long ago, but the abandoned shafts and rusted equipment left behind are still visible in parts of the park.
The name Nopiming comes from the Anishinabe language and means entrance to the wilderness. Walking through the park, visitors move through a landscape that Indigenous peoples have named and known long before it became a protected area.
There are four designated camping areas in the park, including spots at Beresford Lake, Bird Lake, and Tulabi Falls, as well as lodge accommodation for those who prefer it. Insect repellent and waterproof clothing are worth packing in warmer months, as mosquitoes and wet ground are common.
Woodland caribou use the park as a seasonal home, which makes this one of the few places in Manitoba where they can be spotted. Unlike caribou, moose, bears, and bald eagles stay in the park year-round and can be seen across all seasons.
