Pukaskwa Park is a national park of Canada. Park was founded in 1978 to
protect, for all time, a
 sample
of the Central Boreal Uplands and Lake Superior shoreline. Pukaskwa Park is
Ontario’s larges wilderness national park barely touched by humans.
“Pukaskwa National Park occupies a total of 1, 839.1 km˛ (183, 908.88 ha),
of which 95.6 percent or 175,969.31 ha is land, and the remaining 4.4
percent or 7, 939.5 ha is water – flowing streams, lakes and ponds." (Gimbarzevsky,
1978, p.25)
 We
can say that there are two parks in one: the coastal visited by kayakers,
canoeists, and hikers, and the interior park that is covered with dense
boreal forest. The land is classified as a rugged terrain with frigid water
along the rocky north shore of Lake Superior. |
