Public Transportation

If you are traveling by public transportation, you can take a Greyhound bus from various cities within British Columbia to Thunder Bay. Once you arrive in Thunder Bay, you will need to arrange for a taxi or rideshare service to the park entrance, as public transit does not go directly to Wabakimi Provincial Park. The taxi fare may vary, but you should expect to pay around CAD 70-100 for the trip to the park.

For those looking for a more adventurous route, consider driving to a nearby town such as Armstrong and then taking a canoe or kayak into the park. Drive to Armstrong via Highway 1 and then take the road to the lake. Please note that you may need to rent a canoe or kayak from local outfitters in Armstrong, which can cost around CAD 50-75 per day.
