Agawa Bay - Lake Superior Provincial Park

More than half of the locations here are on the beach. As you wiggle your toes in the sand, crawl out of your tent in the morning, pour yourself a cup of coffee, and watch the sun rise over the water. Due to the fact that there are only 147 campsites scattered across the waterfront and in the pine trees at the campground, which is relatively small, reservations are strongly recommended. Agawa Bay is the place to go if you've ever wanted a campsite on one of the Great Lakes with a view of the water. The beach is made up of pebbles and sand and extends for three kilometers. It's a great place to walk, and you'll probably see some wildlife there. The stunning Agawa Rock pictographs can be found nearby, just above the water, in a stunning cliffside setting.

In a given year, non-residents are permitted to camp on any one site for up to 21 days. Not all land in the north is crown land.

Manigotagan River Provincial Park

On December 1, 2004, Manitoba's 80th provincial park, Manigotagan River Provincial Park, was established. About 150 kilometers northeast of Winnipeg is the park. The Manigotagan is a difficult whitewater river that is only a few hours away from the province's population center by road. On the shore of Lake Winnipeg, Manigotagan is a community that can be found at the mouth of the river. The park is made up of a 45-kilometer corridor that begins at the northernmost point of Nopiming Provincial Park and continues downstream to just outside the Manigotagan community. On the upstream stretches, there are sheer rock faces topped with craggy Jack Pine and Rock Tripe lichen, and near the river mouth, there are moist, verdant stands of Balsam Poplar, Green Ash, and Elderberry. The topography is as spectacular as it is varied. Prickly Pear Cactus, Canada Yew, and some of the region's majestic wildlife, such as moose, black bear, wolf, or woodland caribou, may even be found if you look carefully. This is one of the highlights of a trip that should be enjoyed under evening displays of the Aurora Borealis as the river passes by. There are two types of land use on the Manigotagan River, making it a natural park. Over 99 percent of the park's 7,432 hectares are in the backcountry, which is protected from hydroelectric development, mining, and logging. 16 hectares, or less than 1 percent of the corridor, are designated for recreational development. The provincial protected areas initiative is helped by the corridor. Along the river, there are a few campsites with canoe access (backcountry) that are available in order of preference. The fire ring is one example of a site with few amenities.

Explore the region's gold-bearing geology by hiking the Prospector's Trail, which is 4 km long and 2.5 miles long. The Prospector's Trail, which is 4 km long and 2.5 miles long, begins just to the left of the shower building.

Fort Simpson Territorial Park

Situated at the point where the Mackenzie and Liard rivers meet in the community of Fort Simpson. The community's amenities are all easily accessible to visitors; groceries, eateries, and an information center for visitors. Between the main part of the community and the river's southern shoreline, the Snye is a shallow wetland ecosystem. Tundra swans and snow geese are among the migratory waterfowl that can be observed during the season. From the campsite, a community trail that goes around the Fort Simpson community's perimeter connects several historic sites. The trail, which loops around the golf course, provides excellent opportunities for nature observation, including a variety of plants, birds, and reptiles.

Sambaa Deh Falls Territorial Park

Situated on Highway 1, halfway between Jean Marie River and Fort Providence. The Trout River, which means "Sambaa Deh" in Slavey, is where you'll find the Sambaa Deh Falls Park. Before and during the fur trade, the Trout River was a common means of transportation. Travelers were compelled to portage around this perilous stretch of water by the falls. Today, you can see Coral Falls and Sambaa Deh from hiking trails. The annual influx of coral fossils into the river gave rise to the name Coral Falls. Below Sambaa Deh Falls, the Trout River flows through a canyon with steep, narrow sides. If you stand on the side, the force of the roaring water below will cause the rock beneath your feet to vibrate. Please exercise caution because there are no fences and the rocks may become slick when wet.

Jàk Territorial Park

This park, which is just outside the town of Inuvik, has an observation tower with stunning views of the area and excellent birding opportunities. Our summer visitors include ducks, eagles, and falcons. The park's name comes from the abundance of cranberries, blueberries, and cloudberries. In the local indigenous language, Gwich'in, the word "jak" means "berry." The park has 25 non-powered campsites and 11 powered campsites.

Best places to camp in Nunavut
​
ANYWHERE!!!

Almost everywhere in Nunavut is open to campers and trekkers, and some communities and parks have designated campgrounds with limited amenities. The best campsites, trails, and pathways have long been chosen by locals for their shelter, fresh water, fishing spots, and views of polar wildlife. The migratory bird wetlands at Polar Bear Pass, close to Resolute, are great places to go camping and hiking in the summer; along Whale Cove's shores in search of beluga whale sightings; through the amazing Akshayuk Pass in the mountains of Auyuittuq National Park, which is near Pangnirtung and features magnificent Mount Thor as well as the world's highest vertical cliff face at 1,250 meters (4,101 feet). For more daring winter igloo camping, you'll need knowledgeable local guides or outfitters to make sure you can hike and camp out safely near any Nunavut community and learn about building winter shelters.
