Abitibi-De-Troyes

Abitibi-De-Troyes Provincial Park is a 4,292-hectare waterway class provincial park in the Cochrane District of northern Ontario, established in 1985. Originally encompassing a larger area along the Abitibi River to Iroquois Falls, the park was reconfigured and reclassified in April 2005, reducing its size to focus on historically significant areas. The park consists of winding Lake Abitibi, parts of the Abitibi and Black Rivers, and a 12-kilometer peninsula known as Long Point extending into Lake Abitibi. Named after Pierre de Troyes, who may have portaged across Long Point during his Hudson Bay expedition in 1686, the park protects archaeological sites and natural landscapes while providing backcountry recreation opportunities.
