Emily Provincial Park is a recreational park in the Kawarthas near Omemee, with seasonal day use and camping, water access, fishing, boating, paddling, and fall colour appeal. Ontario Parks lists the park at 113 hectares, established in 1957.
The park is compact and family-oriented. It is best understood as a Kawarthas camping base with access to the Trent-Severn Waterway rather than a large trail or wilderness destination.
Ontario Parks highlights Emily as a strong family camping experience in the heart of the Kawarthas, with excellent fishing opportunities, boating and paddling on the Trent-Severn Waterway, and fall camping and colours.
That focus makes the park easy to plan: choose a campsite, build time around the water, and use the surrounding Kawarthas setting for a relaxed weekend. It can work especially well for families or groups that want swimming, fishing, paddling, and campsite time without a complicated itinerary.
Plan around car camping, group camping, boating, canoeing, paddling, fishing, swimming when conditions allow, family campsite time, easy walks, fall colour visits, and exploring nearby Kawarthas communities.
Because the best experiences are tied to water access and seasonal operations, check current alerts, facilities, and conditions before arrival.
Ontario Parks lists Emily day use and camping from May 8 to October 13, 2026. Confirm campsite reservations, group camping availability, boating and paddling guidance, fishing rules, water conditions, fall camping availability, alerts, facility hours, and park rules through the official Ontario Parks source before travelling.
