Wetlands

Beaver activity has helped to form Kettle’s Lake Marsh which is an incredibly valuable source of food, shelter and water for much of Awenda’s wildlife. © Copyright 2016 Awenda Provincial Park, All Rights Reserved

Awenda’s biological diversity is strongly influenced by the presence of various wetland communities, an inland lake as well as the larger Georgian Bay shore.

Wetlands, like Kettle’s Lake Marsh, play an important role as habitat for various plants, water fowl, semi-aquatic mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and countless insects.
