River Aux Sables Provincial Park | Ontario

River aux Sables Provincial Park is a 3,423 hectare waterway park established in 2006. Ontario Parks says the River aux Sables originates at Lac aux Sables and flows 85 kilometres south to Chutes Provincial Park.

The river has free-flowing drainage and impressive whitewater sections. Its natural corridor provides accessible paddling opportunities directly linked to Chutes Provincial Park.

Why Visit River aux Sables Provincial Park

River aux Sables is a focused page for paddlers researching accessible whitewater and a waterway connected to Chutes Provincial Park. Ontario Parks says the southern portion of the river is renowned for white-water kayaking.

The park encompasses outstanding recreational water routes and is meant to provide both high-quality recreational and educational opportunities. That makes it useful for searches about whitewater skill development, paddling routes, and river-corridor interpretation.

The official location note names several townships in the park: Tennyson, Mandamin, Boon, Salter, Teasdale, Prescott, Strain, and Monestine. Visitors should still plan by access point, water level, and route section rather than by township name alone.

Because the southern river is known for whitewater kayaking, skill level should match the chosen section.

The Chutes connection also makes current water levels especially important.

Check conditions before choosing a run.
