At Pukaskwa (puck -a-saw), bear hugs are taken literally. The park features an intact predator-prey ecosystem, which continues to thrive since there is only 4km of road in the entire preserve (and 1km in winter). Pukaskwa offers many of the topographical features and includes a small herd of elusive caribou. The visitor centre (9am-4pm Jul-Aug) offers a wealth of information about local wildlife and the boreal forest. On most summer evenings (starting around 7pm) there are guided hikes and activities departing from the center.
