Daisy Lake Uplands Provincial Park

Daisy Lake Uplands Provincial Park is a 620-hectare protected area near Greater Sudbury with recovering natural ecosystems. The landscape features white birch forests, bog habitats, rock barrens, and grasslands spread across the terrain.

The park was established in 2006 to support natural recovery from mining activities that had previously affected the area. Its creation reflected efforts to restore ecosystems impacted by earlier industrial operations in the region.

The park functions as a control area for ecological research, enabling scientists to study natural recovery processes without human intervention.

The park is accessible from Highway 17 and is located in the northwestern section without developed visitor facilities. As a non-operating protected area, camping is not permitted and amenities are limited.

Daisy Lake maintains unusually low phosphorus levels, creating conditions where specialized aquatic organisms thrive. This allows observation of natural ecological processes developing without external interference.
