Polar Bear Provincial Park, wilderness park, northern Ontario, Canada, on Hudson and James bays.

Polar Bear Provincial Park is accessible only by plane or boat, and travel within the park is restricted in order to help preserve the abundant wildlife, which includes caribou, bearded seal, walrus, white whale, polar and black bear, red and Arctic fox, and moose. Birds include the Canada and snow goose, Arctic loon, and northern phalarope. The lowest 20 miles (32 km) of the Winisk River flow through the park.
