Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Pukaskwa National Park

Two days about I wrote about Point Pelee National Park in Ontario - Canada's first National Park established for conservation and its southernmost National Park as well. Today I am very happy to let you know about another incredibly beautiful place in Ontario - Pukaskwa National Park, which is described as, "remarkably rugged"!

• Pukaskwa National Park is located on the Voyageur Hiking Trail and the longest stretch of undeveloped shoreline in the Great Lakes.
• It is Canada's largest National Park in Ontario and is located on Lake Superior's mountainous shoreline near Marathon.
• Pukaskwa National Park covers 1,880 square kilometres of boreal forest, rocky shores, and sandy beaches, and it includes part of the Great Lakes' longest undeveloped shoreline.
• Pukaskwa is pronounced PUK-a-saw.
• Fittingly, Ontario’s only wilderness national park offers two amazing backcountry experiences: hike across more than 60 kilometres of rugged and varied terrain, or paddle 135 kilometres along dramatic shoreline in Pukaskwa National Park’s most remote region.
• You will find moose, American black bears, grey wolves, Canada lynx, red foxes, various mustelids like marten, fisher, and river otters, beavers, muskrats, snowshoe hares, the iconic Common Loon, Bald Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, and various owls like the Great Horned and Boreal Owl in Pukaskwa National Park.
• Equal parts a cultural and natural wonderland, Pukaskwa combines authentic boreal wilderness with longstanding Anishinaabe culture. 

When you combine the Great Lakes (Superior) with mountains and wildlife you are most certainly going to find yourself in an amazing place! You will find more information about Pukaskwa National Park at this link.
