Gravel River Provincial Park

Gravel River Provincial Park is a 763-hectare nature reserve on Nipigon Bay of Lake Superior in northwestern Ontario, protecting Gravel Point, the mouth of the Gravel River, and nearby channels. Established in 1985, it preserves an unusual birds-foot delta, where the slow-moving river spreads through sandy deposits into branching channels, a rare active delta in the Canadian Great Lakes and the basis of the park’s scientific and ecological importance. Its boreal forest and wetland habitats support migratory waterfowl, shorebirds including great blue herons, mammals such as moose and Canada lynx, and fish including lake sturgeon and northern brook lamprey.
