Canoeing

Wildlife Viewing
Beavers activities, along with the terrain's poor drainage, have
created a variety of wetlands. Watch for herons, kingfishers and
loons on the water, mighty birds of prey including ospreys and hawks,
forest fowl such as wild turkey and ruffled grouse, and warblers
and vireos. White-tail deer and black bear are common. And coyotes,
red fox, fisher, otter, mink, weasel, raccoons and other small mammals
abound.
Boating
Motorboats are prohibited on the interior lakes with the exception of Big Salmon Lake where only electric motors are allowed. However, you may operate motors on most of the boundary lakes including Buck, Devil, Birch, Kingsford and Otter. Water skiing, jet skis and tubes are prohibited at or near campsites or beaches on boundary lakes.
Swimming
There are many small beaches within the park, but no day-use beaches.
Cycling - Mountain bikes are prohibited
in the park.
Winter Activities
Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are popular activities on 160
km of marked hiking trails. All-season camping is allowed - with
a permit -- at the campsite clusters.
