Wabakimi Provincial Park is located to the northwest of Lake Nipigon in the province of Ontario, Canada. The park contains a vast and interconnected network of more than 2,000 kilometres of lakes and rivers. The park covers an area of 8,920 km² and became the second largest park in the province after a major expansion in 1997.

Paddlers (mostly canoeing) often travel the Allanwater, Flindt, Pikitigushi, and Ogoki River (along with a number of additional extended waterways) during the summer months. Wabakimi Provincial Park's waterways straddle a height-of-land from which water flows either to the Atlantic Ocean via Lake Superior or to the Arctic Ocean via the James Bay/Hudson Bay basins.

Several provincial waterway parks connect to Wabakimi:
*Ogoki River, to the east
*Albany River, to the north
*Kopka River, to the south
*Brightsand River, to the southwest

Many camps and outfitters use Wabakimi including Keewaydin Canoe Camp.

Opportunities:The Wabakimi Project is a not-for-profit effort to re-discover and explore the lost and/or abandoned canoe routes that lie within Wabakimi Provincial Park and on adjacent Crown lands. Over the past four years, volunteer participants have travelled and mapped 1,600km of canoe routes and have cleaned 250 campsites and 300 portages totaling 80,000m. First volume of digital maps will be available Fall of 2008. Be apart of this exciting volunteer project by contacting us at, info@wabakimi.org
