Caribou River Provincial Wilderness Park is a provincial park in extreme north-central Manitoba, Canada. It is the northernmost provincial park in Manitoba, and borders the southern Nunavut border. It is known for its remote backcountry camping experience. The park is 7640 km2 in size, and was designated a provincial park by the Government of Manitoba in 1995. The park is considered to be a Class Ib protected area under the IUCN protected area management categories. It protects an area of the Taiga Shield Ecozone (CEC), including boreal forest, rivers and lakes, and low-lying wetlands forming extensive peatlands (bogs and fens). The park has a fairly rolling terrain with many rocky outcrops. Glacial till has been shaped into a mosaic of ridges and eskers, sinuous, rounded ridges deposited by during glaciation. The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including caribou, wolves, black bears, and migratory birds. The park's remote location and vast wilderness provide excellent opportunities for backcountry hiking, canoeing, and fishing. Visitors seeking solitude and adventure are drawn to the park's pristine natural landscapes and rugged terrain, offering an immersive experience in Manitoba’s northern wilderness.
