You too can take pictures like these in the Chapleau Game Preserve. You only have to be patient and a little bit lucky. The Chapleau Crown Game Preserve was created in 1925 to stem the decline of fur-bearing and game animals and it embraces 686,000 acres. This has resulted in an abundance and diversity of animal species, and wildlife viewing is exceptional. Solitary islands invite the traveler to disembark and search for driftwood.
Vegetation is typical of the boreal forest.
Spruce, balsam fir, white birch, trembling aspen and jackpine dominate. In some areas, red and white pine thrive. There are no significant industries for more than a hundred miles in any direction, assuring unsullied air and clean water in the lakes. Evenings are as still as in a former age before man invented machines and the starry night sky is incredibly clear. When you look north late at night, you may often see the northern light.
