Obabika River Waterway Provincial Park
The full length of the Obabika River is protected by and within the boundaries of the Obabika River Waterway Provincial Park. This park was created in 1989 and expanded in 2002 to 205 square kilometres. Like most other waterway parks in Ontario, there are no services provided other than portage and campsite maintenance. Therefore, this park is suitable for backcountry canoeing, nature exploration and wildlife viewing.
In addition to the waters and shores of the Obabika River, the park also includes portions south of Lady Evelyn Lake and the Obabika Old-Growth Forest bordering on the north side of Obabika Lake, straddling across the boundaries of the Sudbury, Nipissing, and Timiskaming Districts.
