Rushing River

Rushing River provincial park is but a minute drive south east of Kenora Ontario. It is a wonderfully shaded paradise with terrific photographic vistas along the rushing river and cool ponds for a summer's dip to refresh. Great facilities allow for group gatherings and great camping.

A true treasure in the great northwest of Ontario. We have been walking and hiking Rushing River for almost 40 years. As we live fairly close, we do not camp but prefer to enjoy the park either before or after the camping season. Once the campground is closed for the season, you can still walk the park but you are expected to pay, guessing your length of stay, using a ticket dispenser.

This I find rather sad given there are no services, not even toilet paper in the outhouses. The fam and I decided to drive to Rushing River from Kenora for a picnic.

The campground was closed so we pulled into the picnic area. The kids really enjoyed the wading into the current of the river and running across the bridges. What a wonderful place to visit. The canadian shiled is so beautiful. Highly recommended to anyone in the area or just passing through. We have been going to Rushing River for years. It has everything, but mostly the best natural swimming hole anywhere. The swimming hole is located just above the rapids and near the southerly campsites. It has a small beach, rocks to dive off and will accommodate any level of swimmer.

The campsites, which are bisected by Dogtooth lake, are generally private and there is a good selection of RV sites and tent only sites. Canoeing and power boating is excellent. A good number of canoe routes, day and longer, originate from the campsite. A retail business one km.

Many of the camping sites are on or near the water. Park staff are friendly and run a number of interpretive programs throughout the summer. Sites 1 through 38 are for larger RVs and are more like a private campground. You might want to stay here all summer. We had camping spot It was a great spot, it felt secluded which is what we like , but was still an easy walk to the beach and North Side Nook where you can rent kayaks, buy firewood, etc.

The outhouses were as well maintained as an outhouse can be: Own or manage this property? Claim your listing for free to respond to reviews, update your profile and much more.

Rushing River Provincial Park beaches are pefect for the family, with shallow, roped-off sections that are great for keeping an eye on the kids while they're in the water. The park roads are fantastic for bikers, remember if you're under 18 years old to bring a helmet! There are BBQs for rent, flush toilets and picnic tables available to all guests. If you want to get out onto the water, canoes, waterbikes, life jackets and kayaks are all available to rent as well. Ontario Parks samples beaches weekly from June to the end of August weather permitting.

However, some beaches, such as this one, are monitored on a monthly basis.

Note that some parks do not begin sampling until mid June due to factors such as water temperature. Ontario Parks beaches are monitored according to the province's Beach Management Protocol. The Protocol says that authorities must check water quality at least weekly from June 1 to Labour Day at beaches where there are formal swimming programs or lifeguards. Some beaches can only be tested monthly, due to factors such as location. Samples are processed at provincial labs and therefore processing times vary from park to park, depending on location.

Beach postings may occur anytime during the bathing season. As part of the routine monitoring program of public beaches, beach postings may be required where exceedance of recreational water quality levels and other environmental data supports the need for posting. Beaches are posted when the geometric mean of the samples collected exceeds E. If the recreational water quality at a swim site exceeds this standard it is given a RED current status in Swim Guide.

When water quality exceeds the recreational water quality standards, Ontario Parks posts alerts on their website. Beaches are also physically posted with a sign.

Ontario Parks re-samples water that has exceeded the standard as soon as possible. Lake Ontario Waterkeeper enters water quality test results into Swim Guide according to the actual date the sample was taken. Each Ontario Park typically samples its beaches on the same day every week or month. Ontario Parks has provided us with the sample collection schedule Mon-Sun for Ontario Parks' beaches they monitor.
