Rushing River Provincial Park, Provincial park near Kenora, Canada
Rushing River Provincial Park is a family campground at the mouth of the Rushing River where it enters Dogtooth Lake, 20 kilometres southeast of Kenora, Ontario. The park has predominantly glacial features and borders Eagle-Dogtooth Provincial Park on its east side. It lies at 353 metres above sea level, near Blindfold Lake, Dogtooth Lake and Muskie Lake, in terrain that is mostly flat and surrounded by mixed forest.
The park was officially established in 1958 as a protected area. Glacial action from thousands of years ago sculpted the landscape and created the waterfall system that defines the area today.
The park sits at the mouth of the Rushing River where it enters Dogtooth Lake, and it serves as a gateway to Eagle-Dogtooth Provincial Park on its east side. Visitors today use the campground as a base for canoeing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding on the connected lakes.
Visitors can enjoy 18 kilometers of groomed cross-country ski trails during winter months and camping or hiking during warmer seasons. Boats and canoes are also available for exploring the connected lakes and waterways.
Over 60 bird species inhabit the park, making it a notable destination for birdwatchers throughout the year. The area also serves as a gateway to the adjacent Eagle-Dogtooth Provincial Park through five distinct paddling routes.
