Nature
Frontenac Provincial Park, a 5,350-hectare natural environment park near Sydenham north of Kingston, Ontario, preserves a diverse section of the Frontenac Axis where the Canadian Shield extends toward the Adirondack Mountains. Its mixed forest, wetlands, granite outcrops, and 22 lakes reflect both natural richness and long human use, from Indigenous peoples, mostly Algonquins, to later settlers, foresters, and miners. Established in 1974, the park is especially important for biodiversity, with more than 700 recorded species and habitat for rare plants and mammals such as black bear, river otter, and fisher. It is also a major backcountry recreation area with extensive trails, campsites, and year-round outdoor activity.
