  • Lac Seul provides some of the finest trophy Northern Pike, Walleye, Muskellunge and also provides access to the vast, practically untouched wilderness surrounding it. The numerous islands on Lac Seul are considered regionally significant calving habitat for the rare Boreal Woodland Caribou.

  • Sioux Lookout name comes from a local mountain and First Nations story. This mountain, known as Sioux Mountain, was used in the late 18th century by the Ojibwe to watch for any oncoming Sioux warriors looking to ambush their camp.

  • East English River Provincial Park is a linear waterway park in OFMZ 4, Canada. It includes a 200 meters (660 ft) wide strip of land on both sides of the English River and its lakes, from the intersection of HWY 599 to Minnitaki Lake. It was established in 2003 to protect natural features that are representative of the area, and high quality recreational canoe routes with over 30 sets of rapids.
