• Welcome to our site • FREE SHIPPING in Canada for 2-3+ maps under total package weight of 500 grams • IMPORTANT NEWS: As you may be aware, the United States under U.S. Executive Order 14324, has suspended its duty-free de minimis (“disregard of trivial matters”) threshold of US$800 for all countries, including Canada. This order APPARENTLY means that, starting August 29, 2025, all shipments entering the U.S. by post, courier, freight provider, or any commercial channel will be subject to an ad valorem (“according to value”) duty that must be PREPAID BY THE SENDER before crossing the border. This duty will be equal to the effective tariff rate applicable to the product's country of origin (Canada in our case) under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), a newly enacted old U.S. federal law. For Canada, the recently-assigned IEEPA rate is 35% for most goods. Unfortunately due to the onerous duties, declarations and paperwork required by this Executive order we will likely no longer be offering our products to individuals (possibly except by letter-mail) and business customers in (only) the United States. President Trump has repeatedly claimed that the Canada has “nothing” the USA needs. However, if you still wish to visit Canada for outdoor activities involving wilderness areas covered by our Adventure Map® series, we encourage you to seek out and purchase from a Canadian retailer after you cross the border. There is a list of such outlets on our website’s Where to Buy page. Call them in advance to ensure a copy is held for you to pick-up. And feel free to contact us if you have questions about the areas, maps or procedures • Best wishes •

Obatanga is a charming medium-sized park straddling the Trans-Canada Hwy 17 north of Wawa. Our map covers the entire park plus an equal area outside it (about 310 km2 in total) including the top end of the semi-famous Dog River. Major lakes include University, Hammer, Obatanga, Burnfield, Knife, Heart, Crayfish, West Kabenung lakes plus the Knife and Dog Rivers.

Still relatively unknown, and therefore quieter than other Parks, it used to be an  "operating" park with staff, maintenance, a great lakeside serviced campground in a red pine forest, plus an extensive wilderness area of superb paddling and hiking terrain. But a few years ago now it was changed to "non-operating" status, which means while it is still a Provincial Park, and still accessible, there is no longer any staff or maintenance.

Which definitely doesn't mean it should be avoided.

In fact, it's now even quieter and more remote than before, so experienced paddlers can take off into the extensive backcountry which includes the headwaters of the semi-famous Dog River. Novice or family paddlers can try out the now rough campsites on small quiet lakes a short paddle from the former campground which itself can still be used, if only roughly too. If hiking or backpacking is your game then the 2.4km loop Forest Fire Trail adjacent to the campground is growing in, while, across the highway, the more rugged Knife Lake Trail thrusts into the heart of Obatanga's backcountry along the route of a former gravel road.

Whether you're heading west across northern Ontario and want a place to spend the night, or are looking for a less busy, unmanaged wilderness destination to spend a week or two, Obatanga is the place.
