Backcountry-lover Scott Elliott, a Partnership Development Specialist from our main office, shares the story of his nine-day wilderness adventure.
Many parks are easily accessible; you just pack your tent and sleeping bag, hop in the car and roll into your weekend campground.
But some parks require planning, motivation, and a refined skill-set.
Missinaibi Provincial Park is one of those parks.
Whether you’re canoeing down the Moose River or taking the Polar Bear Express from Cochrane, Tidewater Provincial Park offers the outdoor enthusiast a unique experience. Situated between Moosonee and Moose Factory, Tidewater Provincial Park provides a last stop to people who are canoeing down the Missinaibi or Abitibi Rivers. Individuals canoeing down the Moose River generally stay overnight at Tidewater and take the train out the following day.
Choosing a park that offers the opportunities you are searching for can be the hardest part of the planning process.
