Otoskwin-Attawapiskat River Provincial Park

Otoskwin-Attawapiskat River Provincial Park is a large wilderness area in northern Ontario with extensive river systems and varied terrain. The landscape features river valleys, areas where freshwater and saltwater mix, and open marshland.

People settled in this area as far back as 3000 years ago, as shown by archaeological remains scattered throughout the park. Later, the region became an important trading route for fur trappers during the 1800s.

This protected area overlaps with lands used by five First Nations communities. The local people have shaped and inhabited this landscape for thousands of years and continue to live here.

This park sits in a remote location and is designed only for experienced travelers. Visitors need strong wilderness skills and knowledge of paddling through rapids to safely explore the area.

Along the Attawapiskat River, unusual limestone islands rise up from the water. Near this park sits a kimberlite deposit containing notable diamond reserves.
