Overview

About

Venture into the heart of nature's history at Butler Lake Provincial Park, where the ancient varves of postglacial Lake Agassiz tell a story millions of years old. This nature reserve, devoid of campgrounds, invites you to explore its untouched landscapes by water, revealing secrets of the Earth's past amid the tranquil beauty of Northwestern Ontario.

When to go

The best time to visit Butler Lake Provincial Park is during the summer months when the weather is warm and the park's full splendour is on display. Winter visits offer a stark, frozen beauty, but accessibility may be limited due to snow and ice conditions.

Know before you go

  • Butler Lake is a Nature Reserve, focusing on the preservation of its unique geological features; hence, facilities are minimal.
  • Access to the park is primarily via Wabigoon Lake, so ensure you have the appropriate watercraft and safety gear.
  • Check for any seasonal advisories, such as fire bans or boil water advisories, before planning your trip.
  • As there are no designated swimming areas, visitors should exercise caution when in or near the water.
  • Remember to respect the ecological integrity of the park by following Leave No Trace principles during your visit.
