Parks & Reserves

With hundreds of thousands of parks spread across this vast country, Backroad Maps should be your first destination to find a park, conservation area, nature reserve or picnic area to enjoy your time outdoors. Names vary depending on where you travel with heritage, county, district, municipal, urban, and wilderness parks to name a few, but rest assured, Backroad Maps has you covered. While many parks have been set aside to protect natural areas and are explored with respect, others are designed to offer a host of recreational activities including beaches for swimming, picnicking, fishing, enjoying watersports, camping, or just soaking up the sun. That is not to say you can’t do both at any particular park. While Algonquin Park in Ontario offers backcountry canoe routes and long-distance hiking trails with wilderness camping, those travelling the Highway 60 corridor will find beaches, shorter trails, picnic areas, museums, a visitor centre, campgrounds with full amenities and more! It is fair to say that you will not find as many parks as we cover in the Backroad Maps anywhere else.

SAMPLE OF WRITTEN DESCRIPTION
Lake Koocanusa (Map 7/C3–E7)
Lake Koocanusa is 148 km (90 mi) long and stretches across the US/Canada border, with its name coming from a combination of the first three letters of Kootenay, Canada, and USA. On the Canadian side, the best places to launch a canoe are at Kikomun Creek Provincial Park on the east shore, or Englishman Creek Recreation Site on the west. It would take about a week to circumnavigate the big lake, which is subject to high winds. Because the lake was formed by the Lilly Dam, it looks more like a river until mid-May or June and then gets much larger through September.
