Situated on the Precambrian rock of the [Canadian Shield](/wiki/Canadian_Shield "Canadian Shield"), Algoma Headwaters Provincial Park is characterized by a mix of low hills, forests, wetlands, and interconnected waterways. As its name indicates, this park protects the [headwaters](/wiki/River_source "River source") of several rivers, such as the [Aubinadong](/wiki/Aubinadong_River "Aubinadong River"), [Batchawana](/wiki/Batchawana_River "Batchawana River"), [Chippewa](/wiki/Chippewa_River_%28Ontario%29 "Chippewa River (Ontario)"), [Garden](/wiki/Garden_River_%28Ontario%29 "Garden River (Ontario)"), [Goulais](/wiki/Goulais_River "Goulais River"), [Montreal](/wiki/Montreal_River_%28Algoma%E2%80%93Sudbury%2C_Ontario%29 "Montreal River (Algoma–Sudbury, Ontario)"), [Mississagi](/wiki/Mississagi_River "Mississagi River"), and Nushatogaini Rivers.

 in the northeast corner of the park is designated as a Wilderness Zone. This section is the most remote and pristine, without road access, and no permission for any motorized travel (e.g. motorboats, ATV's, snowmobiles, etc.). It includes patches of [old\-growth](/wiki/Old-growth_forest "Old-growth forest") [white pine](/wiki/Pinus_strobus "Pinus strobus") west of Gord Lake, that are "among the oldest and best representative samples of old\-growth white pine in the Algoma region".

In addition to this Wilderness Zone and several Natural Environment Zones, Algoma Headwaters Provincial Park also has two Historic Zones on Megisan Lake that protect traditional [Aboriginal](/wiki/First_Nations_in_Canada "First Nations in Canada") sites which once served as a centre of canoe and winter routes, as well as a location for canoe building.

Algoma Headwaters Provincial Park is a non\-operating park. There are no services or facilities. Permitted activities include boating, canoeing, fishing, and hunting.
