Minnitaki Kames Provincial Park

Minnitaki Kames Provincial Park is a 4,422-hectare nature reserve in northwestern Ontario on Minnitaki Lake south of Sioux Lookout, established to protect an unusual glacial landscape. Its most notable features are five large east-west kames, considered the largest in northwestern Ontario, along with numerous terraces. These landforms, now covered by dense coniferous forest dominated by jack pine, were formed about 9,500 to 10,000 years ago during the Timiskaming Interstadial through glacial processes associated with Lake Agassiz. Preserved as a record of the region’s postglacial history, the park remains dedicated to conserving this distinctive terrain and forest cover.
