Nagagamisis Provincial Park

Biking

Cycling is available only on park roads. Mountain biking opportunities are available outside the park on the many bush roads winding through the forest.

Birding

Nagagamisis lies within the vast boreal forest region. This is often called the songbird nursery, as hundreds of bird species nest here each summer. Warblers are the most colourful and have the prettiest songs, but many other birds can be heard and seen in the park, including many types of woodpeckers, ducks, finches and flycatchers, as well as fishing birds like Great Blue Herons, Ospreys and Bald Eagles.

Boating

Enjoy the extensive boating opportunities on Nagagamisis Lake. Launch your boat and pull it up on shore, especially if you camp on one of the waterfront sites.

Canoeing

There are excellent canoeing opportunities on Nagagamisis Lake and Park Lake. Nagagami and Shekak Rivers both provide backcountry canoeing opportunities for experienced canoeists.

Discovery Program

Join Discovery staff at an Exploration Station during the months of July & August. Bring along your Discovery Activity Book (or pick one up at the Exploration Station), and use the equipment and materials provided to explore the park, observe plants and animals, and discover the wonders of nature. Be sure to share your observations with park staff and to take the Discovery Ranger Pledge! For more information keep an eye out for weekly calendar of events posted throughout the park.
