There are 37 national parks and 10 national park reserves in Canada that represent 31 of Canada’s 39 terrestrial natural regions and protect approximately 336,343 square kilometers of Canada’s lands. If these national parks and national park reserves were their own country, they would be slightly smaller than the European country of Finland, which has an area of 336,884 square kilometers. Not every National Park in Canada will be in the path of totality for the 2044 solar eclipse, but there are several parks in totality in 2044 for visitors to use, that provide amazing views!
All of the information for number of parks and specific park names comes from the official Canadian government parks website. So if the numbers do not add up, please be aware that it’s what we could reference from https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np.
