Party size must not exceed the limit set out under the emergency order in force under s.7.0.2 (4) of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act.
Before you visit: check what facilities/activities are available and pack what you need (e.g. water, snacks, mask/face covering, and hand sanitizer). Postpone your visit if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 or have been asked to isolate.
Please note winter activities are weather dependent, please check the Ontario Parks Ski Report or local weather forecasts for snow conditions.
When you visit: Continue to follow public health advice including practicing physical distancing by keeping at least two metres from others, wearing a face covering where required, when physical distancing may be a challenge or not possible and when entering indoor public spaces, and wash your hands regularly with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
Facilities
The signs that glaciers once covered this area are readily apparent from the topography with its abundance of eskers, kames, kettles and moraines. Eskers, kames and moraines are differently shaped features consisting of gravel or sand deposited by the melting waters under a retreating glacier. Kettles were formed when great blocks of glacial ice broke off and left deep impressions in the earth. All of these landforms are covered by a layer of clay, deposited by a vanished lake. Other outstanding natural features in the park include a 26-metre waterfall, and a stand of 300-year-old red pine.
Park Facilities and Activities: There are no visitors’ facilities. However, the park offers excellent opportunities for backcountry canoeing, camping, picnicking, and angling.
Location: Location: Sixty-six kilometres north of Cochrane. Road access is via Highway 652, or a private forest road. Water access via the Zinger Lake chain or the Abitibi River. Air access via a section of the Little Abitibi River above the diversion dam in Kineras Township.
