Black bears are out and about in the park!

Black bears are a natural part of Ontario's wilderness, and a safe park experience starts with proper food storage. Keep all food, coolers, garbage, and scented items secured when not in use, and never feed wildlife.

Visiting with your dog? Keep them on a leash.
Unleashed dogs can provoke wildlife and may lead bears back to you, increasing the risk of a dangerous encounter.

Help us protect Ontario's bears by respecting their space and keeping your campsite clean.

🍓Store food properly
🗑️ Dispose of waste in designated bins
🚫 Never feed wildlife
🐕 Keep dogs leashed and under control
🥾 Give bears plenty of room if you encounter one

Check out the Bear wise webpage for more information.

Together, we can keep Ontario's parks wild, safe, and enjoyable for everyone. Contact the Red Lake park office if you have questions or concerns. 807-727-1329

A Canada Lynx was spotted at Pakwash this week!

Canada Lynx are very secretive, it often makes them difficult to spot. These quiet forest hunters rely heavily on snowshoe hares for food. Their massive, snowshoe like paws let them move silently and effortlessly over the deep winter snow. ❄️
