Atikaki Provincial Wilderness Park

About Atikaki Provincial Wilderness Park

Atikaki Provincial Park is situated east of Lake Winnipeg along the Ontario boundary in the Canadian Shield. The wilderness encompasses diverse ecosystems and waterways that flow westward toward Lake Winnipeg, including the Pigeon, Leyond, and Bloodvein rivers. The park features significant wildlife populations including moose, elk, black bears, loons, bald eagles, and woodland caribou within its boreal forest environment. Known mostly for its beautiful waterways, it is a popular destination for adventurous canoe trippers, with notable paddling routes along the Bloodvein, Gammon, and Sasaginnigak rivers. No logging roads, logging areas, or major developments are allowed in the park. In 2018, it became part of the Pimachiowin Aki UNESCO World Heritage Site.
