W.J.B. Greenwood Provincial Park is a 465 hectare recreational park established in 1985. Ontario Parks places it on Highway 11 about 110 kilometres north of North Bay, with access by the Montreal River and Bay Lake or by road off Highway 11 south of Latchford.
The official page highlights geological attractions including volcanic dikes from the Early Precambrian period and metamorphic hybrid minerals created under deep crustal pressure.
W.J.B. Greenwood is a compact park for visitors who want a mix of river access, simple facilities, and geology. Ontario Parks says visitors might also spot felsic igneous specimens, explaining felsic as a hybrid word for light-coloured igneous material that is part feldspar and part silica.
The facility list is modest: road access, parking, and trails to the water are the only visitor facilities. Recommended recreational activities are canoeing, swimming, and fishing.
That combination makes the park practical for a simple day plan, but not a fully serviced campground trip. The water access and geology are the core reasons to stop.
That modest facility list is helpful, but visitors still need to bring the day-use basics with them from home.
Plan around canoeing, swimming, fishing, trails to the water, Montreal River or Bay Lake access, Precambrian geology study, responsible rock observation, and a short day-use itinerary.
Confirm access, parking, trail conditions, water conditions, fishing rules, no-extra-facility expectations, weather, alerts, maps, and park rules through Ontario Parks.
