Driftwood Provincial Park, Provincial park in Renfrew County, Canada

Driftwood Provincial Park is a protected natural area featuring a sandy shoreline along the Ottawa River with surrounding forest. The park includes waterfront campsites, marked hiking trails through wooded terrain, and day-use facilities accessible from nearby Highway 17.

The park lies on a sheltered bay of the Ottawa River formed in 1950, when the Des Joachims hydro-electric dam was built 12 km downstream. Driftwood carried by the current washed ashore in the new bay, which gave the park its name. Ontario Parks now administers it as a recreation park.

The park's name comes from the driftwood that washes ashore in the sheltered bay formed after the Des Joachims dam was built in 1950. Visitors today swim at two sandy beaches, canoe on the Ottawa River, and fish for yellow pickerel, northern pike and smallmouth bass.

The park is gated in winter but can be entered on foot for hiking, cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing. In summer, campers have 80 campsites, 20 with electrical hookups, plus two sandy beaches and canoe access on the Ottawa River. Trails cross eskers and rocky ridges above the river.

The sheltered bay that gives the park its name formed only in 1950, when the Des Joachims hydro-electric dam was built 12 km downstream on the Ottawa River. Driftwood carried down the river now washes ashore here, and the bay's two sandy beaches lie on that same shoreline.
