Marten River Provincial Park is a recreational park on Highway 11, with seasonal camping, day use, beaches, trails, logging history, paddling access, boating, hiking, and fishing. Ontario Parks lists the park at 400.25 hectares, established in 1960.
The park is especially useful as the southern gateway to the Temagami area. That makes it a practical base for campers, canoeists, boaters, hikers, and anglers who want northern Ontario activity without immediately moving into a remote trip.
Ontario Parks highlights a replica logging camp that brings a bygone era to life, remnant stands of massive pines, and a 350 year old White Pine along the Transition Trail. It also notes Lumberjack Days, with logging contests, a logger's bean lunch, fiddlers, chainsaw carvers, and musicians.
The park is not only historical. Ontario Parks also points to three beaches, beach volleyball, horseshoes, fishing, hiking, boating, and canoeing as part of the visitor experience.
That balance makes Marten River useful for both active lake days and slower history-focused campground time.
Plan around car camping, swimming, beach time, fishing, boating, canoeing, hiking the Transition Trail, visiting the replica logging camp, checking Lumberjack Days timing, playing volleyball or horseshoes, and using the park as a Temagami-area gateway.
Ontario Parks lists Marten River day use and camping from May 15 to October 12, 2026. Confirm campsite reservations, logging camp and event availability, beach and water conditions, trail access, fishing rules, alerts, facility hours, and park rules through the official Ontario Parks source before travelling.
