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.
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.
The Matinenda Lake area is a wild and rugged landscape. Two types of landforms dominate, rugged and gently rolling bedrock uplands with lakeshore, island and swamp environments, and gently rolling sandy uplands with extensive lichen barrens. Sheltered conifer forest provides winter habitat for moose and white-tailed deer, and cold clear water provide excellent lake trout habitat. Brook Trout occur in a few of the lakes and in many of the cold water streams draining into the area.
Location: 15 kilometres north of the town of Blind River.
Park Facilities: There are no facilities available, there are two identified canoe routes.
