Wabakimi Provincial Park Review
Northwestern Ontario
🗓️ May to late September (especially early September for 'paradise')
Wabakimi Provincial Park is a vast wilderness haven in Northwestern Ontario, covering 2.5 million acres with 10,000 lakes and 2,000 km of rivers. It offers world-class canoeing, excellent whitewater, and legendary fishing for Walleye and Northern Pike. The park's remote nature ensures a pristine wilderness experience, protecting wildlife like woodland caribou, moose, and black bears, and preserving the traditional lands of several Indigenous communities.

"I had the chance to spend 8 days inside Wabakimi provincial park. This trip featured wildlife such as Black Bears, Moose and Eagles. It featured all types of weather. Incredible thunderstorms and some hot days. This trip also features some of the best fishing that I have ever been a part of."
"Really looking forward to your trip videos Rich. I did a 15 day Wabakimi solo trip a couple years ago. I have videos too, but of course there nowhere near ready to post."
"Sad but inevitable the decay of the unique Beckwith compound. I have done four solos and one was on your route but I started and ended on Little Caribou. I think Lonebreast Bay is incredibly pretty. Thank you for the video that takes me down memory lane."
