Rushing River Provincial Park

Rushing River Provincial Park is a 340-hectare nature reserve near Kenora featuring rapids and waterfalls that flow between Dogtooth Lake and Blindfold Lake. The park sits on terrain shaped by glaciers and includes dense forest surrounding these interconnected waterways.

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 connects to traditional First Nation territories, with nearby pictographs visible along the 103-kilometer paddling route through connected waterways.

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.
