Labrador tea, wild rice, lady's-slipper, water-lily, moss, lichen -- these beautiful plants commonly occur in various sections of the boreal forest from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains. The delicate beauty of a lady's-slipper, discovered by chance at your feet, contrasted with the vastness of the woods, inspires profound feelings about the Canadian bush.

The history of Ojibway Park is the history of forest. There is no evidence that the region was inhabited in times prior to the arrival of European settlers. The first European apparently paddled through the region in 1784. Major development did not come until the establishment of the CNR and the depot town of Sioux Lookout, 25 km to the north and east.

Moose, black bear, otter, and many other animals may be encountered in the interior, and campers sometimes hear the baying of wolves.
