Obabika old-growth forest is an Eastern White Pine and Red Pine dominated old-growth forest at the north end of Obabika Lake, just west of the Temagami region of Ontario, Canada.
At 2,400 hectares (5,900 acres) in size, it is commonly considered to be the largest remaining white pine dominated old-growth forest in the world.
This area was slated for logging in 1989 and was protected largely as a result of a blockade on Red Squirrel Road in which 344 protestors were arrested, including future Ontario premier Bob Rae.
[1] Another important feature of the area is the spirit rock, a column of rock on the shore of Chee-Skon Lake that is of spiritual significance to the Teme-Augama Anishnabai people.
The forest is accessed by more than 6 km of trails, but the trail-head can only be reached by canoe.
