Larder River Provincial Park is a waterway class park and encompasses 2,500 hectares. The park boundary extends from Raven Lake to Clear Lake and includes 200 metre shoreline strip from the high-water mark on both sides of Raven Lake, Corset Lake, Ward Lake, Larder River, Skead Lake and Upper Wendigo Lake. It includes the node of land surrounding Skeletonpup and Clear Lakes, bordered by Wendigo and Skeleton Lakes.
The park encompasses a series of elongated lakes that flow through a northeasterly oriented fault system. It is bounded by the impressive scenery of the boreal forest, cliffs, outcrops and plateaus. The Larder River area is a popular recreation destination for canoeing, motor boating, hunting, angling and camping for northern Ontario residents and the cottage owners on Reven, Wendigo and Skeleton Lakes.
Larder River Provincial Park was regulated as a provincial park in 1985.
This area contains lake(s) designated for lake trout management. For a current list of designated lakes associated with this area, refer to the Lake Trout Lake Search Index accessible via the ‘Source of Direction’ portion of this policy report.
The Larder River Provincial Park will be managed according to Provincial Park policy and Park Management Plan (1998). The park will protect significant natural and cultural resources and provide opportunities for recreation.
Those uses and management activities not listed in the following table are governed by existing Provincial Parks policy.
The following tables aim to present current information. However, with the passage of new legislation, updates to provincial policy and the development of protected areas management direction documents, certain content elements may be out of date.
The permitted uses associated with provincial parks are found in approved management direction, which are available on the Ontario Parks website.

site-specific basis in addition to land use policy.
