Wabakimi
Provincial Park is a world-class canoeing and recreational
area in the heart of Northwestern Ontario. Home of the
elusive woodland caribou, and renowned for its high
quality fly-in fishing and hunting, it is one of the
world's largest Boreal Forest reserves and wilderness
canoeing areas.
Originally
established in 1983, Wabakimi was expanded almost
six-fold in 1997, bringing the park to its current
size of 892,061 hectares (8,920 square kilometres,
3,444 square miles, or almost 2.3 million acres).
It is now the second largest park in the Ontario Parks
system (the largest is Polar Bear Provincial Park,
near Hudson Bay).
