White Lake Provincial Park is a park in the Thunder Bay District of Northern Ontario, Canada, along Highway 17, north of Lake Superior.[4]
The park, 35 kilometres (22 mi) west of the township of White River, includes portions of the shore of White Lake featuring sandy beaches and marshes. Once an abundant source of fur and lumber, it now offers natural treasures such as orchids and bogs with insect-eating plants.[5]
It is an operating park with facilities and services, including 188 campsites (60 of which have electrical service), docks and boat launch, nature trails, beaches, and playground. The park is used for biking, boating, canoeing, hiking, swimming, fishing, and hunting (only permitted in the park addition).[2]
