Hiking
Riverside Trail 2 km (1 hour) easy
This interpretive trail features 14 stops that describe the formation of Charles Island and the trees and plants that grow in Ontario's far north.

Fishing
Streams flowing into the river contain brook trout. Northern pike and walleye are also found near the park. The best fishing is farther up the Moose River and can be reached by freighter canoe or motorboat.
More information on fishing.

Wildlife Viewing
Red squirrel, muskrat and rabbit and grouse, owl, duck and shorebirds inhabit the park. Bears live here, too, but visitors aren't likely to see them.

Boating
The large and stable freighter canoe with 25 to 45 horsepower motor is the preferred means of transportation in the waters of the lower Moose River and James Bay.

Swimming
Strong tides and the currents make swimming dangerous off the park islands. However, there is a shallow, sheltered area near Moosonee where the water is not too cold.
