Ojibway Provincial Park

Ojibway Provincial Park covers a large expanse of boreal forest with extensive pine woodlands and open areas throughout the Kenora District. Sandy shores line Little Vermillion Lake with quiet bays, while the interior offers dense forest cover and several smaller water bodies.

Ontario created this protected area in 1963 to conserve the forests and lakes of the Kenora region. Its establishment came as part of a broader movement toward nature conservation in Canada during the 1900s.

The park bears the name of the Ojibway people, an Indigenous nation with a long history in this region. Walking through the grounds, you encounter a place that holds meaning for these communities and their connection to the land.

The park is most accessible from May through September when camping and fishing are available. Warmer months offer the best conditions for swimming, boating, and exploring the water routes.

The park sits along a major canoe route through northern Ontario, connecting multiple lake systems. These water links once made it a key waypoint for travelers and traders moving through the region.
