Opasquia Provincial Park

Opasquia Provincial Park is a vast, remote wilderness area in northwestern Ontario near the Manitoba border, protected for its undisturbed boreal habitat and distinctive glacial landscape. Covering about 473,000 hectares and typically reached only by float plane, it contains hundreds of lakes and dozens of rivers whose unusual northwestward drainage reflects landforms left by the last ice age. Features such as the Opasquia Moraine and shorelines from glacial Lake Agassiz mark that history. The park is especially important for wildlife, supporting one of North America’s largest concentrations of wolverines along with moose, bears, wolves, eagles, otters, beavers, many bird species, and notable fish populations.
