Chapleau Game Preserve


October 01, 2006

The Ultimate Wilderness Experience!

At a time when true wilderness is fast becoming a rare commodity, the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve is a true treasure for all nature lovers and recreation enthusiasts.

Encompassing 700,000 hectares or 2,000,000 acres, it is the largest Crown game preserve in the world. It offers a remote and natural setting which is easily accessible by rail, gravel road, or for the more adventurous, by canoe or aircraft. Wildlife viewing is exceptional and it is not unusual to see animals living their lives oblivious to any human disturbances.

Fur bearing and game animals are protected in the Game Preserve through a ban on all hunting and trapping. As a result, wildlife populations are plentiful and through migration serve to replenish nearby areas where hunting and trapping are encouraged. This was the Ontario Government's original purpose for creating the preserve in 1925.

At the southern tip of the preserve Chapleau serves as the gateway to this vast area. Forest roads lead to lakes and rivers, access points, canoe routes, wildlife viewing stations and at the very centre of the preserve Missinaibi Provincial Park.
