Little Current River Provincial Park is a 9,930 hectare waterway park in northwestern Ontario. Ontario Parks lists the park as established in 1989 and says it protects rugged northern boreal forest on either side of the Little Current River.
The park is remote in practical terms. The official location note places it about 350 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay and about 100 kilometres north of Geraldton, which means trip planning should start with access, maps, travel time, and emergency preparedness.
Little Current River is a long-tail destination for paddlers and backcountry campers who are specifically looking for a northern waterway setting without frontcountry infrastructure. Ontario Parks says there are no facilities, but visitors will find good opportunities for backcountry canoeing and camping.
The appeal is not a list of developed amenities. It is the river corridor, boreal forest, and remote route-planning challenge. For searchers comparing Ontario waterway parks, the official classification and no-facility note are central: this is a self-reliant canoe and camping page, not a campground page.
That makes the park especially relevant for visitors who are comfortable planning from river conditions and official maps rather than on-site services.
Plan around backcountry canoeing, camping where permitted, boreal forest observation, route research, map study, wildlife-aware travel, remote photography, and nearby service planning through Geraldton or Thunder Bay.
Confirm access, route maps, permits, camping rules, no-facility expectations, water levels, weather, emergency communication, alerts, road conditions, and park rules through the official Ontario Parks source before travelling.
