An angler’s retreat, the park is hidden in the vast mixed forest of coniferous and deciduous trees of the Canadian Shield. The campground can accommodate those who want to camp individually or in larger groups. Lake Athapapaskow, with its clear blue waters, offers not only tranquility, but also excellent trout and walleye fishing. The name “Athapapuskow” means “rocks on both sides” or “rocks all around” in the Cree language.

The Bakers Narrows scenic tower offers spectacular views of the forest, rock outcrops and crystal clear waters. Surrounded by the deep, yet vibrant greens and blues of the landscape, read the tower’s interpretive signage to learn how the history of the area was influenced by those who utilized the area’s resources, from early inhabitants to modern industry. Driving east from the park will lead you to nearby Grass River Provincial Park. While you are there, hike the Karst Spring self-guiding trail. Bakers Narrows campground provides sheltered, private campsites which have either electrical or basic service. Centralized showers, modern washrooms, as well as group use & picnic areas are also available. The beaches in the campground provide swimming opportunities, and playground equipment is located throughout the campground.
