Caliper Lake Provincial Park covers 147 hectares beside Caliper Lake near Nestor Falls. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources closed it to overnight camping in 2013; the township of Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls then reached an agreement with the ministry to take over operation of the park.
The land carries deep meaning for Indigenous communities of the region who continue hunting, trapping, fishing, and gathering practices that define their connection to this place. These activities shape how people move through and use the natural surroundings today.
The park operates from May through September and offers good conditions for swimming and boating along the sandy shore. Visitors should arrive early, especially on weekends, as spaces fill quickly during peak times.
American white pelicans and bald eagles soar above the water, drawn to the rich aquatic habitat for hunting and feeding. Below the surface, northern pike, walleye, crappie, and smallmouth bass make the waters a draw for anglers.
