René Brunelle Provincial Park is a provincial park in both the municipality of Moonbeam and geographic Gurney Township in Unorganized North Cochrane District, Cochrane District, in Northeastern Ontario, Canada.[1][2][3][4][5] Established in 1957[6] and named in 1981 for René Brunelle,[7] it is operated by Ontario Parks and has camping, hiking, swimming and other facilities on or near Remi Lake.[3][6]
Geography
The park is on the north and east shores of Remi Lake. A second, smaller, non-contiguous portion of the park is southwest of the lake in the municipality of Moonbeam.[3] Spruce Creek is entirely within the park, and arrives at Round Bay on the northeast shore of Remi Lake. Other named lakes wholly in the park are Crawfish Lake; Spruce Lake, the source of Spruce Creek; and West Audrey Lake. The outflow from Remi Lake, the Remi River, is at Outlet Bay also in the park.[3]
Transportion
Remi Lake was the location of a seaplane base in the early 1900s.[6] Access to the park is by Ontario Highway 581 which connects to Ontario Highway 11.[3][4]
