Arrowhead Provincial Park, Provincial park in Muskoka District Municipality, Canada.
Arrowhead Provincial Park lies north of Huntsville, Ontario, in the Ontario Parks system. The photograph shows a long, low landmass covered in dense green trees, its uneven treetop line rising and dipping from left to right, with no bare rock or clearings, meeting the water along a near-horizontal shoreline. A portion of the shoreline of Glacial Lake Algonquin is visible in the park.
The area first opened as a camping destination in 1966 and became a provincial park in 1971. This official status helped protect the North Muskoka landscape over time.
The park lies north of Huntsville in the Ontario Parks system, and a portion of the shoreline of Glacial Lake Algonquin can still be seen within its boundaries. In winter a 1.3-kilometre man-made skating trail winds through the forest, alongside cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and tubing.
The park has roughly 15 kilometers of hiking trails with varying difficulty levels, including a path to a waterfall. Equipment rental is available at the main facility, so visitors can arrive without their own gear.
