Deer Lake - Avalon Wilderness Reserve

The Avalon Wilderness Reserve protects the Avalon Woodland Caribou. The conservation project began in the early 1960's when the herd had dwindled to a few hundred animals - by 1998 there were over two thousand. The Reserve is a collection of diverse landscape including forests, ponds, rivers, and thickets.

Avalon Wilderness Reserve offers the opportunity for hiking, canoeing, skiing, hunting, bird and wildlife watching, fishing photography, and wilderness camping.
