Sturgeon River Provincial Park, Provincial park in Sudbury District, Canada

Sturgeon River Provincial Park protects a 70-kilometre stretch of the Sturgeon River from Woods Lake to the Sudbury-Nipissing District boundary. The river runs through Temagami highlands with bedrock outcrops and long slender lakes, then narrow channels, some 65 rapids and shallows, and finally sandy shores.

Sturgeon River Provincial Park was established in 1989, when it covered 33.5 square kilometres and ended south of the Obabika River and Lower Goose Falls. In 2005 the park was extended south to the Sudbury-Nipissing District boundary, bringing its area to 79.85 square kilometres. It is one of several provincial parks in the Temagami area, all managed by Ontario Parks.

The park is one of several Ontario Parks units in the Temagami area, and its corridor links Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater, Solace, Chiniguchi Waterway and Obabika River provincial parks. Paddlers can travel from Woods Lake, at the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater boundary, downstream toward the Obabika River confluence.

The park is an operating park: camping requires a permit, while day use does not. Its only facilities are 35 backcountry campsites, so paddlers carry all supplies. With about 65 rapids, canoeists need portaging or whitewater skills, and detailed navigation maps are essential.

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.
