Earl Rowe Provincial Park

Earl Rowe Provincial Park is a natural area in Simcoe County featuring forests, wetlands, and open fields that surround Lake Earl Rowe. Multiple trails wind through these varied landscapes, offering walking and cycling routes for visitors to explore.

Ontario established this park in 1964, naming it after Earl Rowe, a key figure in developing the provincial parks system. The creation reflected a broader effort to protect natural areas across the region.

The park hosts educational programs during summer months where participants learn about local wildlife through guided exploration stations and hands-on activities.

The park provides picnic shelters, camping areas, and marked trails for day use and overnight stays. Conditions and accessibility vary throughout the year, so planning your visit around the season helps ensure a comfortable experience.

A fish ladder on the grounds lets visitors observe salmon as they swim upstream during fall spawning and trout moving through in spring. This structure reveals how the park works with aquatic wildlife and their seasonal movements.
