Solace Provincial Park | Ontario

Solace Provincial Park is a 5,943 hectare waterway park established in 1989. Ontario Parks describes a chain of narrow scenic lakes, oriented north to south between forest-covered ridges.

The official page says this corner of Temagami is more boreal, dominated by Jack pine, black spruce, and trembling aspen. Canoeing is lake-to-lake, with rugged portages between the lakes.

Why Visit Solace Provincial Park

Solace is a remote Temagami canoe-route park for paddlers who want connected water, ridges, portages, and a wilderness setting. Ontario Parks says it links to Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater, the Sturgeon River, and other Crown land waterways by portages and waterways.

The park can be used to connect other routes or as a fly-in canoeing destination of its own. Ontario Parks also places it inside a wider Temagami network: backcountry parks protect more than 100,000 hectares, provide roughly 600 kilometres of interconnected canoe routes, and connect to a 2,400 kilometre canoeing network of parks, conservation reserves, and Crown lands.

The official page notes Indigenous heritage dating back at least 10,000 years, with canoeists travelling ancient portages or nastawgan.

Long carries and route links should be chosen before the trip starts.

Things To Do

Plan around backcountry canoeing, rugged portages, fly-in logistics, lake-to-lake route building, fishing if regulations allow, boreal forest observation, Temagami network planning, and respectful travel on ancient portage routes.

Planning Notes

Confirm permits, route maps, portage conditions, access, fly-in options, water levels, weather, alerts, Indigenous heritage guidance, communications, and emergency planning through Ontario Parks before travelling.
