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 extention 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 wolves. This is quite unusual for Southern Ontario. Other animals that call the park home are American black bear, red fox, mink, Northern River Otter, White-tailed Deer, porcupine, and fisher.
