Opasquia Provincial Park
The Opasquia Provincial Park is located in Northwest Ontario, Canada. Situated alongside the Manitoba boundary, this remote park is approximately in size. The Opasquia park is home to many different species of plants and animals.
==Geographical features==
Located approximately north of Red Lake, Ontario, the Opasquia has no road access, even during the winter highway season. The park is accessible by float plane only. Hundreds of lakes and dozens of rivers flow northwest through this park. The northwestern water flow is considered an anomaly due to the fact all other bodies of water in Ontario flow northeast towards Hudson Bay and James Bay. This can be attributed to the Cocos Plateau formed from glaciers during the last ice age.
The reason the Opasquia Park has been protected as a wilderness park has more to do with its distinctive geology. A ridge of glacial till two kilometres wide rises 100 metres above its surroundings here. This is called the Opasquia Moraine. On the sides of the moraine, wave-cut terraces and segments of raised shoreline indicate the former limit of glacial Lake Agassiz.〔(Lodges and Outposts in Opasquia Provincial Park, Ontario,Canada )〕
