Frontenac Provincial Park is located near the town of Sydenham, north of the city of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The park lies on the Frontenac Axis, a topographic extension of the Canadian Shield, which connects to the Adirondack Mountains. It is a wilderness park composed of several lakes and forest offering backcountry camping accessed by canoe or on foot.

Frontenac Provincial Park is home to a native population of gray wolves. This is quite unusual for southern Ontario.[citation needed] Other animals that call the park home are American black bear, red fox, mink, northern river otter, white-tailed deer, porcupine, and fisher.
