Natural Features
This northern Ontario park consists of winding Lake Abitibi, parts of
the Abitibi and Black rivers, and a 12-kilometre peninsula extending
into Lake Abitibi. Following the natural contours of the waterways,
the park features coniferous forest, swamps, eskers, kettle basins,
and waterfowl nesting areas. An esker is a narrow, winding ridge
of gravel or sand, deposited by the melting waters under a glacier.
Owing to the shallowness, muddiness and extreme wave action of
Lake Abitibi, caution is advised when navigating. A guide is recommended
for lake travel.
