Caribou River Provincial Park

About

Caribou River Provincial Wilderness Park is a provincial park in extreme north-central Manitoba, Canada. It is the northernmost provincial park in Manitoba, and borders the southern Nunavut border. It is known for its remote backcountry camping experience.

The park is 7,640 square kilometres (2,950 sq mi) in size, and was designated a provincial park by the Government of Manitoba in 1995. The park is considered to be a Class Ib protected area under the IUCN protected area management categories. It protects an area of the Taiga Shield Ecozone (CEC), including boreal forest, rivers and lakes, and low-lying wetlands forming extensive peatlands (bogs and fens).

The park has a fairly rolling terrain with many rocky outcrops. Glacial till has been shaped into a mosaic of ridges and eskers, sinuous, rounded ridges deposited by glaciation. The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including caribou, wolves, black bears, and migratory birds.

The park's remote location and vast wilderness provide for backcountry hiking, canoeing, and fishing.
