Voyageur Provincial Park sits on the shores of the Ottawa River. Here the fertile soil of the St. Lawrence Lowlands meets the ancient bedrock of the Canadian Shield, on the border between Ontario and Quebec.

The varied landscape of beaver ponds, fern swamps, and hills of mixed forest provides habitat for deer, woodchucks, muskrats and beaver. The variety of birdlife includes bobolinks, meadowlarks, goldfinches, robins, and warblers. In the spring and fall the bays are filled with migrating ducks and Canada geese. Terns, gulls, sandpipers, herons, kingfishers and osprey live along the shore. The park is also home to the midland painted turtle and the snapping turtle.
