About this park
<p>The Poker Lakes area encompasses approximately 1,800 hectares of remote backcountry provincial crown and municipal lands, composed of mixed forests and 12 lakes with minimal development. Camping/canoeing routes include 47 campsites and 10 portages. There are a limited number of backcountry campsites which can be accessed by unmaintained logging roads via Black Rd. These roads generally require a 4x4 vehicle and it is important that campers understand what equipment is needed to access their campsite by reading the campsite description when booking</p>
<p>This is an ideal area for novice paddlers, families, or anyone looking to have a relaxing and rejuvenating adventure in a natural setting.</p>
<p>Access to the area is from two public access points, one at 5128 Highway 118 and one on the Cinder Lake access road, off of the Black River Road. It should be noted that the Cinder Lake access road is a remote, unmaintained, “use at your own risk” road, and the access point itself can only be reached by a truck, SUV, ATV, snowmobile (in winter), or on foot. Vehicles using this access point should be equipped with 4-wheel drive capabilities as there is very rough terrain and two water crossings.<p>
