Eastern Parks
Eastern Parks Nopiming Provincial Park Introduction With an area of 1,429 km2, Nopiming Provincial Park is characterized by rock outcrops, lakes and rivers of the Canadian Shield dominated by jack pine, and scattered marshes; black spruce/tamarack bogs are common. Classified as a Natural Park, its purpose is to preserve areas that are representative of the Lac Seul Upland portion of the Precambrian Boreal Forest Natural Region; and accommodate a diversity of recreational opportunities and resource uses. The park will: Preserve areas of woodland caribou habitat; Provide nature-oriented recreational opportunities such as canoeing, hiking and Native bead work on buckskin clothing mountain biking in a largely undisturbed environment; Provide high quality cottaging, camping, boating and fishing opportunities, and accommodate related facilities and services; Promote public appreciation and understanding of Nopiming's natural and cultural heritage; and Accommodate commercial resource uses such as forestry and mining where such activities do not compromise other park purposes. Nopiming is an Anishinabe (Saulteaux, Ojibwe) word meaning "entrance to the wilderness." The park is about 200 km north east of Winnipeg. Manigotagan River Park Reserve consists of 250-m wide strips of land by Turtle Lake, and along the north and south shores of the river to PTH 304. Woodland caribou antler and track The Land Rock is a prominent feature of Nopiming Provincial Park, frequently appearing as hills and ridges, as outcrops in the middle of a forest, and as shoreline cliffs spotted with orange and black lichens.

Seasonal Campers' Guide
SEASONAL CAMPERS ’ GUIDE RULES AND REGULATIONS Revised January 2021 Welcome to Seasonal Camping in Manitoba If you have a desire to get outside more, you’re in the right province. Many of us know Manitoba only as a Prairie province. While we certainly have vast expanses of prairies, people are sometimes amazed to learn that about 60 per cent of our province is boreal- forested Canadian Shield wilderness. Between prairie and boreal forest are regions of lush, green parkland. Our entire province is dotted with thousands of crystal clear lakes filled with freshwater fish and connected to streams and rivers that eventually find their way north across tundra landscapes to our ocean coast at Hudson Bay. Manitoba is a province of such diverse and incredible beauty that appreciating the landscapes and abundant wildlife resources really does mean experiencing them in person. Seasonal camping is a tremendous way to do that. It’s something every Manitoban should expe- rience at least once. Once you’ve experienced this life adventure, you may find yourself com- pelled to return again and again. You will know Manitoba as the outdoor paradise it really is. You will never forget that you live in a big, diverse and beautiful province where you are free to make your own adventures. Come and camp with us. 2 | SEASONAL CAMPERS’ GUIDE Revised January 2021 Manitoba’s provincial parks offer you the en- Transfers and refunds: Seasonal camping per- joyment of outdoor living and opportunities to mits are neither transferable nor refundable. be close to nature.

Eastern Parks Atikaki Provincial Park Introduction In 1985 the Bloodvein-Pigeon rivers region east of Lake Winnipeg was designated as Manitoba’s first wilderness park. Its 3,981 km2 is characterised by a landscape of rock outcrops and granite cliffs interspersed with a complex of bogs, fens, marshes, rivers and riverbottom forest. The park features three river corridors and associated shorelines, including the Manitoba portion of the Bloodvein Canadian Heritage River. Classified as a Wilderness Park, its purpose is to preserve physical features and biological communities representative portion of the Lac Seul Upland portion of the Precambrian Boreal Forest Natural Region or “Shield Country.” The park contains physical features and biological communities within its approximate 4,000 square kilometre boundary, which is about the combined size of Whiteshell and Nopiming provincial parks.The park will: provide opportunities for a range of outdoor recreational experiences from canoeing and whitewater rafting, that depend on a pristine environment, to lodges and outcamps promote public appreciation and understanding of the park’s natural features and cultural heritage. The jewel in Atikaki’s crown is the Bloodvein River that starts near Red Lake in Ontario, flows through the park, and drains into Lake Winnipeg. Both the Manitoba and Ontario portions of the river have the distinction of being designated a Canadian Heritage River. In order to receive this designation a river must have outstanding significance in terms of human heritage, natural heritage, or recreational values. The Bloodvein is significant, to varying degrees, in all of these categories. Gammon River Natural History Located in a part of the Precambrian Shield known as the Superior Province, Atikaki is on some of Canada’s oldest rock, formed about three billion years ago.
