Additional Information:

Ontario Provincial Parks are generally open between the May long weekend and Thanksgiving each year, though these dates may vary depending on the Park.  For exact operating dates, please contact Ontario Parks at 1-888-ONT-PARK, or call the Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park directly at (705) 744, 2276.  The Park is not staffed in the winter months, the trails are not maintained, and only a few access roads are ploughed, though visitors are welcome to snowshoe the trails at their own risk.

Description:

The Wabashkiki Trail takes you over a wetland via a raised boardwalk onto a small island between Moore Lake and the Amable du Fond River.  This wetland offers some of the best areas to view wildlife within the park.  The trail takes its name from the Ojibway language meaning 'swamp' or 'wetland'.

Directions: 

From the HWY 11/17 junction near Seymour Street, take exit 377 onto HWY 17 East.  After about 48 km (29.8 mi) of travel you will see an entrance on the left to Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park.
