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. 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.

Transportion

Remi Lake was the location of a seaplane base in the early 1900s. Access to the park is by Ontario Highway 581 which connects to Ontario Highway 11.
