Any of those would help. However, I think the best solution would be to combine them:
* Lay a long railroad with a lot of stops spaced out along it. Each stop would have a new park with a small developed area and then some rougher space beyond. Give each park something interesting and unique to distinguish it. This will drastically cut down on car traffic, and mass-transit has a much lower impact.
* Make it free to ride the train and visit any of the less-busy parks along it. Make it cheap to visit the more-busy ones. If traffic begins to overflow a given area, use first pricing and then temporary access blockage to bring it down.
* As long as you have a captive audience on that train, offer free entertainment and education regarding Canada's great wilderness and how to take good care of it. If people want to watch mainstream stuff, they can bring their own or pay for it.
* Attach permits for an area of Crown land surrounding each park, so if you get permission to visit the park then you can also hike, canoe, etc. out beyond its edge into undeveloped Crown land.
* Rotate the parks so they are not all in service at the same time. This allows each park a fallow period for the wildlife to recover and rangers to repair facilities.
* Don't forget to reserve large tracts of wilderness for wildlife only.
Hmm ...
