Sturgeon River Provincial Park

Sturgeon River Provincial Park protects a wild river section with natural banks, rock formations, and dense forest surrounding the water. The landscape features rapids, rocky shores, and narrow waterways that make it appealing for paddlers and canoeists.

The park was established in 1989 to protect the river section. A major expansion followed in 2005, tripling the protected area.

The park forms a natural connection with neighboring protected areas, including Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater, Solace, Chiniguchi Waterway, and Obabika River Provincial Parks.

The park is mainly accessible by canoe since road access is limited. Visitors should be skilled in paddling techniques and bring their own equipment.

The river is known for numerous rapids threading between steep rock walls and narrow channels. These challenging passages make each paddling trip an intense adventure.
