My first visit to this park—and probably not the last!
Mikisew Provincial Park的点评
点评：I just came back from a 3 night camping trip with friends in Mikisew Provincial Park (September 01-04, 2025). Although I had visited at least 50 provincial parks in Ontario, it was my first visit to this place.
The park is located on Eagle Lake, from which it derives its name. “Mikisiw” (ᒥᑭᓯᐤ) is a Cree word meaning "eagle". The word has also connections to similar words in related Algonquian languages, such as Ojibwe ‘migizi’ for "bald eagle".
The online check-in for my booking was fast and simple (actually, I did it on my home computer, just before heading for Mikisew). Thus, I did not even have to go into the office to register upon my arrival, which had occasionally required lengthy wait of up to one hour. Needless to say, paper permits, which had to be displayed at campsite’s posts and on vehicles’ dashboards, had been eliminated as well. My confirmation letter served as my camping permit and my license plate was used to verify my permit. Campers were required, however, to have proof of purchase while in the park either by having a digital or a printed copy of their confirmation letter or reservation number.
Just around the park office I ran into a park warden and ended up chatting with her—she was a super friendly, outgoing and knowledgeable young woman, who readily answered all my questions. She said that there had not been any black bear sightings in the park for several months.
My friends booked campsite #158, which was relatively private, and I stayed on campsite #153, some 15 meters from theirs—the two campsites were in the Hardwood Campground. From my campsite I could see the comfort station (which had bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities, maintained daily); since the adjacent campsite remained vacant during my visit, we could cut through it and get to the bathroom in just under one minute. Both our campsites faced opposite sites across the road, yet otherwise they were relatively sheltered from adjacent camping sites by the forest and vegetation.
There are various campsite fee levels, depending on campsites’ classification: AA (most expensive), A, B and C (least expensive). They depend on parks’ overall demand and amenities. They are also a subject to the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) of 13%.
My campsite was in the “B” fee level and cost $43.76 + HST = $49.44 per night per campsite (NOT per person).
Our campsites were electric, so most, if not all other campers on them had RV trailers or motor homes—probably we were the only ones with tents. As I had been interested for some time in a small travel trailer, I spoke to several owners of smaller RV trailers. They gave me plenty of very useful pieces of advice regarding their campers, driving and the right vehicles to tow them.
We brought portable electric heaters to take advantage of the available electric power and it was so nice to get into a warm tent and stay that way the whole night (the temperature dropped below +10 C at night, as well as there was frost advisory for that area a week before). Also, when it was raining, the sleeping bags inside were not getting damp.
The only (wild) animals I saw were chipmunks, squirrels, blue jays and woodpeckers. Fortunately, mosquitoes were almost non-existent and no other bugs bothered us. I also managed to identified some plants that were growing around our campsite: False Solomon's Seal, Hobblebush and Spotted Jewelweed.
One species especially caught our attention as there was only one such plant, with just one fruit, with a conspicuous bright red colour. As none of us was into plant identification, we had no idea what was the name of the plant. With the assistance of plant-identification websites and their knowledgeable members, it turned out that this flowering plant had already been named after me: JACK-in-the-Pulpit! I had heard so much about this namesake, but finally saw it for the first time. I will try to attach photos of these plants.
I drove around the park; by and large, I liked the campsites—whereas most electric campsites were occupied, there were quite a few of vacant non-electric campsites, which I though were somehow superior in terms of privacy and overall quality. Most campsites were quite spacious, easily accommodating even bigger trailers. There was also a nice group campsite, set apart from the camping area, close to the lake.
I noticed that fire rings (pits) were emptied, which was a big plus. A lot of campers (including my friend) had dogs and from time to time we could hear loud barking. There was a leash-free dog area near the lake as well as a dog trail. The park had three beaches and canoes for rent—Eagle Lake was quite big and certainly offered very good canoeing. I was told that the lake off the beach was quite shallow, yet I did not go for a swim.
There was cell coverage in the park and we never had any issue making phone calls or browsing the Internet. Unfortunately, some areas of southern Ontario still have very poor or non-existent cell coverage.
I saw the park’s vehicles drive around from time to time, but I did not notice any excessive noise—after 10:00 pm the park became very quiet, with most campers sleeping or silently sitting around campfires.
The park had a few trails (which I did not do) as well as a golf course. Inside the park office was a small store that sold souvenirs, postcards, clothing, stickers coffee, firewood and ice, yet it closed at 4:00 pm on weekdays. Not far from the park (some 3 KM by car, or about 2 KM by foot) was Eagle Lake Narrows Country Store (with very friendly service) selling firewood, groceries, coffee, fries, pizza and “everything you will need to keep you going”. In addition, there was a gas bar in front of the store—and a Little Free Library nearby. The store closed at 8:00 pm when we were there.
By the way, there was a very interesting book inside the Little Free Library, “Rise to Greatness: The History of Canada From the Vikings to the Present” by Conrad Black—autographed by the author—and I decided to take it.
Would I visit this part again? You bet!

翻译：我刚和朋友们结束了在米基索省立公园（Mikisew Provincial Park）的三晚露营之旅（2025年9月1日至4日）回来。虽然我之前至少去过安大略省的50个省立公园，但这是我第一次来这里。
公园位于鹰湖畔，它的名字也由此而来。“Mikisiw”（ᒥᑭᓯᐤ）是克里语，意为“鹰”。这个词也与阿尔冈昆语系中的类似词汇有关，例如奥吉布韦语中的“migizi”，意为“白头鹰”。
我的在线预订登记手续快捷简便（实际上，我是在前往米基索之前，用家里的电脑办理的）。因此，我甚至不必在抵达后前往办公室登记，而之前有时需要排长达一小时的长队。当然，那些必须在营地标识牌和车辆仪表盘上展示的纸质许可证也已被取消。我的确认信是我的露营许可证，我的车牌号也用来验证我的许可证。不过，露营者在公园内必须出示购买凭证，可以是确认信或预订号的电子版或打印版。
就在公园办公室附近，我遇到了一位公园管理员，并与她攀谈起来——她是一位非常友好、外向且知识渊博的年轻女士，她很乐意回答我的所有问题。她说公园里已经好几个月没有看到黑熊了。
我的朋友们预订了158号营地，那里相对私密，而我住在153号营地，距离他们的营地大约15米——这两个营地都位于硬木露营地。从我的营地可以看到公共厕所（里面有卫生间、淋浴和洗衣设施，每天都会维护）；由于我访问期间相邻的营地一直空着，我们可以穿过它，不到一分钟就能到达卫生间。我们两个营地都隔着马路，彼此相对，但除此之外，由于森林和植被的掩护，它们与相邻的营地之间相对安全。
营地费用等级各不相同，取决于营地的分类：AA（最贵）、A、B 和 C（最便宜）。费用取决于公园的整体需求和设施。营地还需缴纳 13% 的统一销售税 (HST)。
我的营地属于“B”级费用，每晚每个营地（不是每人）的费用为 43.76 美元 + HST，即 49.44 美元。
我们的营地是电力驱动的，所以大多数（如果不是全部）其他露营者都带着房车或房车——可能只有我们几个带帐篷。由于我对小型旅行拖车很感兴趣，我采访了几位小型房车拖车的车主。他们给了我很多非常有用的建议，包括他们的露营车、驾驶方式以及合适的拖车。
我们带了便携式电暖器，充分利用了现有的电力。能钻进温暖的帐篷里一整晚真是太好了（夜间气温降到了零下10度，而且该地区一周前就发布了霜冻预警）。而且，下雨的时候，帐篷里的睡袋也不会受潮。
我看到的（野生）动物只有花栗鼠、松鼠、蓝松鸦和啄木鸟。幸运的是，蚊子几乎不存在，也没有其他虫子打扰我们。我还认出了营地周围生长的一些植物：假玉竹、虎耳草和斑凤仙花。
有一种植物特别引起了我们的注意，因为这种植物只有一种，只有一个果实，颜色是醒目的鲜红色。由于我们都不擅长植物识别，所以根本不知道这种植物的名字。在植物鉴定网站及其专家的帮助下，我终于找到了这种开花植物的名字：杰克在讲坛！我听说过很多关于它的名字，但终于第一次见到它了。我会尽量附上这些植物的照片。
我开车绕着公园转了一圈；总的来说，我很喜欢这里的露营地——虽然大多数带电露营地都住满了人，但也有不少空置的非带电露营地，我觉得这些露营地在私密性和整体质量方面更胜一筹。大多数露营地都很宽敞，甚至更大的拖车都能轻松容纳。还有一个不错的团体露营地，与露营区分开，靠近湖边。
我注意到篝火圈（坑）都清空了，这真是个很大的优点。很多露营者（包括我的朋友）都带着狗，我们时不时能听到狗叫声。湖边有一个不拴狗绳的区域，还有一条遛狗小径。公园里有三个沙滩和独木舟出租——鹰湖很大，划独木舟的感觉很棒。有人告诉我沙滩外的湖水很浅，但我没去游泳。
公园里有手机信号，我们打电话或上网都没问题。可惜的是，安大略省南部的一些地区手机信号仍然很差，甚至完全没有信号。
我看到公园里的车辆不时驶过，但并没有注意到任何过大的噪音——晚上10点以后，公园变得非常安静，大多数露营者都在睡觉或静静地坐在篝火旁。
公园里有几条步道（我没有去）和一个高尔夫球场。公园办公室里有一家小商店，出售纪念品、明信片、服装、贴纸、咖啡、木柴和冰块，但工作日下午4点就关门了。离公园不远（开车约3公里，步行约2公里）有一家鹰湖窄道乡村商店（服务非常友好），出售木柴、杂货、咖啡、薯条、披萨以及“一切你需要的东西”。此外，商店前面还有一个加油站，附近还有一个小型免费图书馆。我们去的时候，这家商店晚上8点关门。顺便说一句，小型免费图书馆里有一本非常有趣的书，《崛起：从维京时代到现在的加拿大历史》，作者是康拉德·布莱克，还有作者亲笔签名，我决定把它带走。
我会再来这里吗？当然！
