Kettle Lakes Provincial Park

Kettle Lakes Provincial Park in northeastern Ontario, east of Timmins, preserves a landscape created at the end of the last Ice Age. About 12,000 years ago, a retreating glacier left half-buried ice blocks that melted into the small, deep basins now known as kettle lakes. Twenty of the park’s 22 lakes formed this way, while eskers and erratics also remain from the same glacial retreat. The lakes lie within boreal forest dominated by jack pine, with fir, pine, spruce, aspen, and birch adding variety. Today the park is a popular destination for camping, canoeing, swimming, hiking, and fishing.
