There are 37 national parks and 10 national park reserves in Canada that represent 31 of Canada’s 39 terrestrial natural regions and protect approximately 336,343 square kilometers of Canada’s lands.

These wild places, located in every province and territory, range from mountains and plains, to boreal forests and tundra, to lakes and glaciers, and much more.

Parks Canada is responsible for protecting these areas, and for managing them for visitors to understand, appreciate, and enjoy in a way that doesn’t compromise their ecological integrity.

There are many ways to enjoy a Parks Canada visit – please start by reviewing the various forms of on-site accommodations available in the Parks – follow this link:

Each location has its own launch day between March 13 and April 13, 2023. Those days can be very busy, so be sure you prepare in advance.
