Mississagi Provincial Park

Mississagi Provincial Park, north of Elliot Lake in Ontario along the Boland River, protects a rugged landscape of ancient hills, clear lakes, peatland, river valley, and forest in the transition zone between the boreal and Great Lakes–St. Lawrence forests. Established in 1965 and expanded in 1988 and 2002, it grew to include Helenbar Lake, the Stag Lake Peatland, and the Boland River Valley. Though much original pine forest was lost to logging and fire in the early 20th century, some old-growth pines remain. The park serves as a recreation base with hiking trails, campsites, boating access, and continued summer operations after local opposition helped prevent closure.
