Chutes Provincial Park

Chutes Provincial Park sits along the Aux Sables River and covers 108 hectares of forested land with red pine, jackpine, poplar, maple, and spruce trees. The park centers around a natural waterfall that is the main feature visitors notice when exploring the grounds.

The park takes its name from a wooden chute built during the regional logging era to safely guide logs around the waterfall. This structure reflects how the timber industry shaped the landscape and use of the river.

The Twin Bridges Trail displays signs explaining the logging practices that shaped this region and how the river was used by people over time. Walking this route gives you a sense of how forests and water were central to local life.

The park has 130 camping sites, with 79 offering electrical hookups, and municipal drinking water is available from Massey. It works well to arrive early or visit on quieter days if you prefer less crowded trails.

A section of Campground C is designated as a radio-free zone, allowing visitors to hear the main waterfall's sounds without electronic interference. This quiet experience lets you feel the river's power with only natural sounds around you.
