Blue Jay Creek Provincial Park is a natural environment park on Manitoulin Island, 12 kilometres from Tehkummah. Ontario Parks lists the park at 245.70 hectares, established in 1997.
The park has no visitor facilities, but Ontario Parks describes a range of natural settings suitable for canoeing, hunting, fishing, nature appreciation, and exploration.
Because boundaries are property-based in places, map work matters here.
Blue Jay Creek protects some of the largest raised beach and swale system on Manitoulin Island. Ontario Parks notes upland willow thickets at higher beach elevations, plus forest cover of cedar, spruce, and pine.
The wetland details are especially rich. Ontario Parks describes cedar, black spruce, and black ash swamp forest, open and treed bogs, treed fens, riparian marshes, and a portion of Blue Jay Creek.
The boundary story is also useful for planning. Ontario Parks says the park boundary does not follow natural features because it was formerly private property and is delineated by lot and concession boundaries, though the southwest boundary follows the high water mark of Michaels Bay.
Plan around nature appreciation, canoeing where access and conditions allow, fishing and hunting under current rules, wetland observation, learning about raised beach and swale systems, Blue Jay Creek context, and Manitoulin Island route planning.
Confirm access, maps, property-boundary context, no-facility expectations, canoeing conditions, fishing and hunting rules, wetland sensitivity, alerts, seasonal conditions, and park rules through the official Ontario Parks source before travelling.
