Marten River Provincial Park, Provincial park in Nipissing District, Canada
Marten River Provincial Park is a forested area with lakes and rivers in northern Ontario, featuring three beaches and multiple hiking trails. The landscape covers about 990 acres with marshes, open woodlands, and diverse animal life.
The park was established in 1990 and contains a replica of an early 1900s logging camp with period buildings and equipment. This recreation preserves knowledge about the timber industry that once supported communities in the region.
The park tells the story of timber harvesting through displays of period tools and techniques that shaped the region for generations. You can walk through these elements and understand how people once worked with the forest here.
The park has two camping areas with a combined 193 sites, with approximately half offering electrical connections and water access. Visitors should prepare for changing seasons as conditions and accessibility vary with weather.
A notable feature is the roughly 4-kilometer Transition Trail that winds through marshes and wetlands toward Marten Lake. Along this path visitors can spot a White Pine tree that has stood for over 350 years within this forested setting.
