Gatineau park is in the National Capital region of Canada (Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec. This folder contains just a few of the many lakes, streams and ponds which are "managed" by beavers in the park.

Gatineau Park has one of the largest beaver population densities in Canada. In 2002-2003 aerial surveys 283 active beaver colonies were estimated on the park territory. This amounts to 7.79 colonies per 10 km2. Various surveys have shown that the beaver polulation varies between 1360 and 1950 beavers based on an average of 5.1 animals per colony.

The abundance of beaver is the result of the richness of its habitat, about 50 lakes and a large number of wetlands. The forest cover provides qulaity food.
