Kap-Kig-Iwan Provincial Park

Birding

The park is also a good spot to watch and listen for nesting birds. Many forest songbirds like warblers and flycatchers make their summer homes here, raising chicks and defending their territories. The river and its valley provide many habitats for them.

Several species of birds can be seen year-round at the park including: Black-capped Chickadees, Red-breasted Nuthatches, and woodpeckers.

Fishing

Anglers may catch Northern Pike, Walleye, Small-mouth Bass and Brook Trout.

Hiking

Kap-Kig-Iwan has two hiking trails. A scenic lookout provides a bird’s-eye view of the valley, and trails lead along the river to many of the waterfalls on the Englehart River.

Upland Circle Trail 4 km (2.5 hours) moderate - Bird watching is excellent along this trail through pine, birch and poplar stands.
