The Centennial Lake Provincial Nature Reserve (also known as Centennial Lake Provincial Park) is a provincial park [2] located in the municipality of Greater Madawaska, Renfrew County, in Eastern Ontario, Canada. [1] [3] [4] [5] [6] The 530-hectare (1,300-acre) reserve was created in 1989 and is managed by Ontario Parks. [2]

The park consists of 5 non-contiguous parts. The majority of the park is a section of land north of Black Donald Lake surrounding Oakhill Lake and bordered on the east by the Black Donald Creek; another part is the largest island in Black Donald Lake, and the remaining 3 parts are portions of three smaller islets in the same lake. [2] [4]

The park protects unusual geological features and many rare plant species, including the Purple cliffbrake ( Pellaea atropurpurea ). It is a non-operating park, meaning there are no facilities or services. [2]
