True wilderness and adventure can be found in Algoma’s provincial parks. Explore Lake Superior’s rugged coastline to hear the stories of shipwrecks, and paddle century-old canoe routes. Follow the path of Grey Owl when you paddle down the Mississagi River. Visit a geological site on the Kinniwabi River at Potholes Provincial Park; distinctive potholes formed by glacial meltwaters 10,000 years ago. All this and more are waiting for you.

Our provincial parks protect the natural and cultural heritage of our great province of Ontario. They also provide recreation in spectacular outdoor settings. No one park can be all of this to all people, so we have different classes of Ontario Parks. We have Recreation parks where having fun is the thing, Natural Environment parks that have large areas to explore, and sometimes, they have naturalist programs for those who want to learn more about Ontario and have fun doing it. Waterway parks offer white water paddling adventures.

Many parks offer services like campsites, yurts, showers and facilities, laundromats, stand-up paddleboard rentals, canoe rentals and more.
