Obabika River Provincial Park

Obabika River Provincial Park in Ontario’s Temagami region protects a broad backcountry landscape that extends beyond the river it is named for, linking waterways, forests, wetlands, lakes, and bedrock uplands across a larger wilderness system. Created in 1989 and expanded in 2002 to 205 square kilometres, it contains historic settlements and Indigenous archaeological sites dating back 6,000 years, as well as canoe routes that form part of Temagami’s traditional nastawgan network. Its best-known area, the Chees-Kong-Abikong Wilderness Zone, preserves extensive old-growth red and white pine forest and includes cliffs and waters near Cliff Lake that hold spiritual significance for Temagami First Nation communities.
