Pukaskwa National Park

Pukaskwa National Park, established in 1978 on Lake Superior’s north shore in northern Ontario, protects 1,878 square kilometres of rugged coast and boreal forest along one of the Great Lakes’ longest undeveloped shorelines. Remote and largely accessible only by trail or water beyond Hattie Cove, it is known for backcountry hiking and paddling routes, including the Coastal Hiking Trail and Mdaabii Miikna. Its forests, dunes, and rivers support diverse wildlife and unusual northern plant communities. The park also preserves Indigenous history in the thousand-year-old Pukaskwa Pits, while its name and landscape reflect deep Indigenous connections to this wild stretch of the northern Great Lakes.
