Daisy Lake Uplands Provincial Park, Provincial park in Greater Sudbury, Canada.
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.
Daisy Lake Uplands has no visitor facilities and no camping, so visits are limited to passing through or walking the terrain. The Southeast Bypass, the Highway 17 alignment in the region, crosses the park's northwest corner. A proposed Highway 69 realignment through the wetlands between Daisy and Richard Lakes was excluded from the Ministry of Transportation's route planning.
The park is a designated control area: unlike other parts of Greater Sudbury, where environmental mitigation and recovery programs have run since the 1970s, this site is left to recover without human intervention. One of the region's first mining roasting beds stood just east of the park boundary.
