What is a Crown Game Preserve
A Crown Game Preserve is an officially designated natural area in Ontario, Canada, "primarily for the purpose of sustaining populations of game animals". [1] Hunting and fishing is not permitted or strictly regulated, making it akin to a wildlife refuge. Crown Game Preserves are managed by the Government of Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.

Kenny Forest Provincial Park (within the Nipissing Crown Lands)
The Kenny Forest area has features which are unusual for this natural region. The yellow birch that grows in the upland mixed forest found here is approaching the northern limit to which this species is commonly found. The accompanying lowland wetlands and coniferous/deciduous swamp forests provide additional variety to this interesting natural landscape. The local history is rich in logging heritage. Logging began here as early as 1905 by J.R. Booth, and continued into the 1970s. A few large, old scattered pines can be viewed along the shorelines as a reminder of this earlier age. Because it lies within the Nipissing Game Preserve, established in 1926, the candidate area provides excellent opportunities for viewing moose and other wildlife. Hunting and trapping are not permitted in the game preserve. The natural boundaries of Wicksteed, Bruce and Marten lakes, form a well-known circle route for canoeists. [Anon. 1994]
