Overview
Inverhuron Provincial Park is popular for its sandy beach, dunes and glorious sunsets.
In addition to the spectacular beach and dunes, Inverhuron includes wetlands and a young hardwood forest. The diverse habitat nurtures rare plants and protects many woodland animals and birds. The park is also steeped in history. Aboriginal people roamed here for thousands of years. In the 1800s, a small town was located in what is now part of the provincial park.
Once a favourite camping destination, for the past 29 years Inverhuron has been open for day use only. However, as of July 8th 2005, 162 private, well-treed campsites were made available for reservation. Future plans for Inverhuron include 88 more campsites, an amphitheatre and improvements to an existing boat launch.
