Unorganized South Nipissing District is an unorganized area in north-central Ontario, in the District of Nipissing. It is almost entirely within and includes most of Algonquin Provincial Park.
The unorganized area is gradually being reduced in size. In 1971, a portion was added to Lake of Bays Township in Muskoka District,[2] and between 1996 and 2001, its area shrunk from 7,792.97 square kilometres (3,008.88 sq mi) to 6,704.68 square kilometres (2,588.69 sq mi),[3] because of annexation by surrounding incorporated townships.[4]
