What You'll Like:

  • Obabika River contains an incredible diversity of landscapes, from island-speckled lakes to meandering rivers, bedrock uplands, expansive wetlands, as well as towering stands of old growth pine forests.
  • Remnants of the horse-logging days and old lumber camps can be found along many of the lakes in the park.
  • The Obabika Lake Old Growth Forest is one of the largest and oldest White Pine forests in Ontario. Trails take hikers through pristine stands of towering pine trees.
  • Temagami’s backcountry parks provide a remote wilderness experience, protect over 100,000ha, and provide roughly 600km of interconnected canoe routes.
  • Located in the heart of the Temagami region, Obabika River is connected to a 2400km canoeing network consisting of Parks, Conservation Reserves, and Crown lands.
  • The region’s canoe routes traverse some of the most rugged landscapes in Northern Ontario – 4 of the province’s highest peaks are in Temagami’s backcountry parks.
  • The area’s rich Indigenous heritage dates back at least 10,000 years, and canoeists travel on ancient portages or “nastawgan”.
