Where is the largest area in the world where birds and animals are protected from Hunting and Trapping? Okay, here is a hint. Our resort, and Lake Wabatongushi, are inside it. Yes! Believe it or not, the World's Largest Game Preserve is not in Africa but right here in the Algoma District of Northern Ontario Canada. The Chapleau Game Preserve's over 7,000 square kilometer (3,000 square mile) expanse was set aside in 1925 to protect indigenous wildlife from hunting and trapping. Since then, the only hunting allowed in the vast boreal forest, is with a camera. Tha Chapleau Crown Game Preserve straddles the height of land between Hudson Bay and Lake Superior. It is at the top of the Canadian or Pre Cambrian Shield. It is bounded on the North and South by the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways. The Eastern Boundary is the Chapleau River and the 100 kilometer (60 mile) western boundary is the Algoma Central Railway.
Angling is allowed in the hundreds of Lakes and Rivers encompassed by this Wildlife Sanctuary. That fishing experience can really be enhansed by the sight Moose grazing on lily pads, a Black Bear scavenging the shoreline, a Bald Eagle swooping down to pluck an unwary Northern Pike from the shallows, or the yodel of a loon as it comments on you fishing technique. For the Nature enthusiast the Chapleau Game Preserve provides an opportunity to observe Boreal ecosystem wildlife, birds and plants in natural circumstances.
