The park contains a vast and interconnected network of more than 2,000 kilometres of lakes and rivers.

[4] A number of local citizen groups and residents, including Bruce Hyer (former MP for Thunder Bay-Superior North) have been instrumental in the creation, expansion, and preservation of this region.

The main line of the Canadian National Railway skirts the south end of the park and Via Rail provides passenger service twice a week.

[6] Paddlers (mostly canoeing) often travel the Allan Water, Flindt, Pikitigushi, and Ogoki River (along with a number of additional extended waterways) during the summer months.

The Wabakimi Project (2004-2018) was a not-for-profit effort to rediscover and explore the lost and/or abandoned canoe routes that lie within Wabakimi Provincial Park and on adjacent Crown lands.
