Driftwood Provincial Park

Driftwood Provincial Park is an Ontario recreation park on a sheltered bay along the south shore of the Ottawa River, west of Deep River, with wide views toward Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains. The bay was created in 1950 when the Des Joachims hydro-electric dam altered the river’s currents, causing driftwood to wash ashore and give the park its name. The park is a summer destination for camping, swimming, canoeing, and fishing, with sandy beaches and campsites, while trails over eskers and rocky ridges add unusual terrain and elevated views. In winter it remains open to hikers, skiers, and snowshoers on foot.
