What is there to do once there?
On weekends, your guides will provide you with the best advice on what to do, depending on weather conditions and your level of experience.
HIKING
You can set off to climb the ridges of the iconic Pingualuit crater. You’ll have a breathtaking view of the horizon, which seems to stretch on forever. Your eyes will be drawn to the near-perfect circle of this 1.4-million-year-old crater. You can choose to walk from the camp to the crater (5 km round trip), down to the water (2.5 km round trip) or all the way around (18 km round trip to the camp). For an easier, more accessible hike, you can also visit the shores of Manarsulik Lake. Whichever option you choose, be aware that the trails are undeveloped and made up of rocks that are often loose and sometimes slippery. We recommend that you exercise caution and use walking sticks. Do not forget your day pack with snacks, water, etc.
FISHING
For non-beneficiaries who would like to fish, make sure you have your provincial fishing license with you prior to contacting the park to obtain your park permit. You must bring you own fishing gear. All catches must be consumed on site (maximum 3), except for a single catch which may be taken out of the park.
IMPORTANT: Fishing or swimming in Pingualuk Lake (crater) is strictly prohibited as it is an extreme preservation area.
CANOE AND KAYAKING
You can borrow Park boats and life jackets to explore the area surrounding Manarsulik Lake.
