Access to the park is via float plane or canoe. The park is noted as a wilderness canoe destination, with over 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) of waterways that weave a pattern between large interconnected lakes and rivers, including the Bloodvein River and the Gammon River. Portages connect many of the common canoe routes. The park has many archaeological sites containing many Ojibway pictographs.
