The mood of Caliper Lake Provincial Park is set by the wildcry of the loon, the whisper of a midnight breeze and the long moonlit shadows cast by the pine forest: it's intimate, friendly and above all peaceful. Come to camp amid a stately stand of red and white pine, explore the rocky outcrops and picnic in the gently sloped open fields of this remote northern wilderness.

Caliper Lake rests in an environment of natural northern beauty. Its 100 hectares are characterized the the lush woodlands embedded in the rich soil left behind by glacial deposits. The diverse natural habitat shelters many plants and animals. Squirrels, rabbits and groundhogs live in the forests and fields of the park.See white-tailed deer bounding towards the trees for cover.

Keep an eye open for intersting birds too. Eagles and osprey soar overhead and grouse race across the forest floor - its muted colours camouflaged by the vegetation. Spot the loon resting on the shores or listen for the hoot of a barred owl. The large populations of white pelicans are sure to be a highlight of your visit.

You can pitch your tent or camp your trailer at any one of 83 campsites - 26 with electrical hookups. For your comfort, there are showers, toilets and a modern comfort station nearby. Organized groups of up to 40 people can take advantage of the group camping space available - call ahead to reserve the space.

Recreational opportunities in the park include boating, canoeing, swimming and hiking. You can also enjoy a wilderness picnic with your family or friends. Fishing on Caliper Lake is excellent - crappie, smallmouth bass, pike and walleye can be found in large numbers.
