The park has another 103 campsites in the interior for backcountry camping. Most modern voyageurs who paddle the river do so in two stages. A good place to start the first leg is at the Village of Missanabie. From there, travel northward through Missinaibi Lake, down river past Peterbell to the town of Mattice on Highway 11. The second leg travels northeast to the Moose River, and is marked by waterfalls, rapids and wetlands.
Canoeists can order a detailed waterway map from the park office.
The campground is open from early May to late September. The southern end of the park begins about 60 kilometres northwest of Chapleau. The waterway extends north and later northeast to the Moose River region, in the vicinity of James Bay. The park campground is reached by an 88-kilometre gravel road from Chapleau.
