Overview

About

Brightsand River Provincial Park is a pristine natural escape, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the untouched wilderness of Ontario. With its early Precambrian landscape, the park is a haven for those seeking adventure amid mixed forests, eskers, and moraines left by the last ice age. While the park is non-operating and lacks facilities, it beckons the intrepid with opportunities for sportfishing, boating, backcountry canoeing, and camping.

When to go

The best time to visit Brightsand River Provincial Park is during the summer months when the weather is favourable for outdoor activities. However, adventurers should be aware that the park is non-operating, meaning access and services are limited. The off-season can be challenging due to harsh weather conditions, making it less ideal for visits.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you have a detailed map and are familiar with backcountry navigation as the park is non-operating with no on-site services.
  • Prepare for self-sufficient camping; bring all necessary supplies, including a first-aid kit and bear-proof containers.
  • Check the Thunder Bay District Health Unit for any advisories before your trip.
  • Be aware of the park's ecological sensitivity and practice Leave No Trace principles to preserve its natural beauty.
  • For emergencies, note the contact number for the regional health unit: (807) 473-3031.
