Arrowhead Provincial Park Reviews

The park is one of the finest provincial parks I have ever visited. They have 500 plus camping sites and 10 cabin camping sites. Trails and hikes are long, moderate level and interesting. Number of parkings available. Arrowhead lake has a great view. Arrowhead lake trail is good one explore. Loved it. Gonna visit again for sure.

One of the best parks in Ontario for access to an awesome river, nice sandy beaches and Huntsville is 10 min away if the weather is not favorable.

A nice place. A lot of poison ivy all over, even in the camping areas. You need to keep your pets and children away from it.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Arrowhead Provincial Park in the Summer, and I am looking forward to visiting during the winter. Arrowhead is one of the parks that is open year round, and it's just a lovely mix of comfort and awe inspiring natural beauty.

There were several picnic tables along the beach and it felt very comfortable to get some fresh air and float on the water.

Always try to get to the park early (at least for now), they're limiting numbers and there is usually a lineup on the weekend. It's a beautiful park.

Had a great time with friends. The campsites are far enough apart to ensure you don't hear your neighbor's

I love the way it's full of bushes and trees .
Clean washrooms and nice walking trails.

Awesome hiking trails and very close to Huntsville Ontario

Great camping site. Beautiful sand beaches, wildlife, forests. Simply stunning.

Amazing Beauty and when it is cool make use of it ..

Great time skating the trail. Can't wait to do it again.

It was our first time to Arrowhead and we loved it. Very private sites. Only downfall was are friends were staying in a different row there is no short cut access had to walk all the way to the end and Down to the next area all the way down.

Great outdoor skating in the forest. Check first if conditions are favorable and they are open. Skete rentals available. Parking for 1 vehicle and 4 people $21

Love camping here. Nice lake and inexpensive to canoe . Washroom are average. Great hikes . I like it

The park and facilities are good. Only problem is that the water gets deep quickly. It's not safe if you don't know how to swim.

Went for the skating trail. Unfortunately it was closed but we were still able to hike and walk around the park. Be sure to ask if snow shoes are required. The guide was kind enough to tell us that due to the conditions of the trails that snow shoes weren't really required.

Was really excited to go on skating trail, only to find it closed. Checked status on website at 9am before leaving cottage to get here for 11am (opening time) and it said "Skating: Open!" but really they just didn't update it! Thanks for wasting 3 hours of my time and gas driving round-trip! Will never return.

It was nice years Ago have not been able to get there for a long time ice skating trail and cross country skiing in the winter

We went ice skating on the 1+ km trail at Arrowhead. To say we got our workout in would be an understatement. Five laps = 5+ km of pure calorie-burning cardio. Rental skates were cheap too, at only $10 for 3 hrs.

The trail had a good variation of uphill and downhill gradients, though the ice isn't the smoothest as it gets shredded by all its patrons. Unfortunately, the 'Fire and Ice' event was cancelled on the day we went site to warmer weather.

Overall, we had an excellent time! Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a solid workout on ice and a fun time

Like the campground here. Beautiful lake and trails.

Love this park, clean, quiet and lots to see and do!

beautiful park, staff was super friendly and helpful...only downfall was being eaten alive by the mosquitoes and deer flies which is completely normal at the time of year. I would love to go back for the day when the leaves are changing colour

Beautiful clean Provincial Park. More Family orientated.

Outdoor skating rink is a lot of fun - but it can get very very busy, especially when they have 'fire and ice' nights (aka. they light torches).
You can rent skates as well as cross-country skies.

The Arrowhead Trail was a disaster. A 5km trail took us 3 hours because the trail was not properly matked out. We walked into people's campground. Thank God we were able to have some drinks and a BBQ with them. I have been to every National Patk in Canada and this has to be the worst one.

For me, a beginner of cross-country skiing, I am very happy to skate on the primary ski trail. The beautiful scenery along the way is refreshing and refreshing. Highly recommend this good place for skiing!

I went for a hike Saturday Oct 24th, 2020 on the Beaver Meadow Trail and although I always enough the outdoors, I was very disappointed in the lack of trail signage and direction provided. $15 for 2 hrs hike turned into a 3hr hike trying to find the proper trail. The trail was in disrepair with broken wood boards wich made parts of the trail dangerous in slippery conditions.

Beautiful trails and Canadian landscapes only 2 hr from Toronto!

Beautiful, and the bugs; the relaxing buzz of a warm blanket of bugs... An absolute visit in the falls when the local trees are in full colour... Something just short of heaven!

A beautiful park, with great trails, a gorgeous amber lake, a waterfall, and lots of great trees.

Went in the beginning of December. There was some decent snow, enough for snowshoeing fun but most other activities were closed. The heated showers and washrooms on- site were perfect retreats after completing the activities. I would imagine it is way more scenic and lively in summer and deeper winter. I hope to visit again sometime then.

A gem of a park! It has gorgeous hiking trails from 1km to 15 kms....beautiful Waterfall. In the winter it has a skating oval and cross country skiing. The Campgrounds are spacious and sites are large. We have a season pass and make good use of it.

Amazing getaway in a beautiful place. We have tons of fun playing in tge snow! Highly recommend!

Wonderful place to visit, tons to do all year around this park.

Excellent park. Camping sites are very large and private. Washrooms are fair. They have a dog beach and several other family friendly beaches.

We stayed in South Lumby. Sites were spacious, flat and mostly sandy. The comfort station there was ok. Showers were intense. Both extremely cold water, and a stream of water that could nearly remove skin! Beaches were busy but nice. Overall decent place, but if we were going to stay again, we would try for East River campground instead. Thicker tree coverage there as well

The skate trail was beautiful & a wonderful family activity

The park is beautiful in the winter and summer time

Best all-around campsite within 2-300 km of Toronto
I've camped all over British Columbia Alberta Ontario very spacious well laid out camps sights and overalls lots of privacy
Lake has multiple beaches most campsites are within a five minute walk of the beach lots of canoes and kayaks to rent best rate is to book for 24-hour rental

most campgrounds are close to highways and railways This place is super quiet

Great provincial park for families. Large sandy beaches, peaceful canoeing down the river to get to stubbes falls.

Beaches and the water quality are A++
Maintenance and the campsites are A++
My concern is about showers!
1- only 5 for a big group of campsite (all campgrounds are the same)
2- very high pressure and tooooo- long time of shower.
3- ventilation is very poor
...I hope an improvement on showers and washrooms (they need renovation)
And We will visit you again next year!
Seeya.

Nice Falls that you can easily dive in and enjoy the water flow

Amazing nature! The tubing line is very slow and once you are down the hill you must bring back ur tube walking up the hill back. Not a bad walk tho. But a long wait time and the tubing is so quick like less than 10second lol the ice skating in the forest is an amazing experience. They have night time skating too but i recommend the day time. Night time is more dangerous and cant take pictures in the dark the skating trail is ok but some places the ice is very bumpy i was scared time to time. Bring your own skates bc the rental line is crazy. During the busy season theres soooo many ppl everywhere.

Beautiful large sites. The hike to the falls was not too challenging for the family.

Beautiful scenery, nice trails and not too far from Toronto

We love Arrowhead - its nicely laid out, great sites, and easy to get to. We stayed at Roe campground in site 400 - super private but an easy walk to the vault toilets (which were actually flushable and had a sink - a nice surprise). My only complaint - our site had a trail running through it. All the sites along that section do. I think its part of the winter ski trails, when the actual campsites are closed. However several people on bikes and walking their dogs decided to ignore the barriers at either end and use it anyways. Its a little disconcerting to look out the window at 7am and see someone walking around your fire pit.

Also it would be nice to have lights in the toilets, or outside them.

Went in the winter to the skating Trail. It was magical. What a beautiful way to enjoy skating. Weekends get busy so go early to find a parking spot. They also have a fire pit so bring warm clothes so you can stay awhile.

Great park, sites are nicely spread out such that you can't see your neighbours.

Amazing second year going I love it very clean organized

Great spot for the whole family. We went cross country skiing with a 4, 5 and 6 year old for 3 hrs! Lol, it was a slow start but we all had a blast in the end. We rented all the equipment there for a great price. We'll be going back!

This is by far one of my favorite parks in Ontario that's not to far from Toronto and worth the drive. Such beautiful scenery

Great park with well visitors number control. Recommend for trail walk, hiking and cycling. The difficulty is around beginner and intermediate level. BTW all the trails are fantastic except the 'Homesteaders Skate', it's confusing with the sign. Lastly, the distance length of each trails on the park map is wrong. The distance is way longer than what they describe on the map. Enjoy!

Ofsaa nordic here was amazing i had a great time trails were amazing

Huge park to explore. Lots of trees to help keep tents covered during rain. Fantastic views on the hike trails.

Excellent park for biking and hiking. Clean bathrooms. Bit disappointed no kids program this year during the week.

Went with some friends for the skating Loop within the park and had a great time. Staff at the rental chalet were fun and helpful, especially when it came to skate sizing.

Been coming here for at least 40 years. Clean large campsites, Beautifully lake and beaches.

I was very impressed with this park. It is well maintained. The bathrooms, although there's a good gap under the door and no lights, was an actual flush toilets bathroom. The camp sites are decently secluded, well kept and we had a blast. I will say tho that the wood they sold us was not well seasoned so a fire was a real problem.

Amazing camp ground and swimming. The staff here are so pleasant.

Stayed here in September in a cabin. Very clean and has everything you expect and need. Great washroom and shower facilities Friendly staff and I can't fault it.

A great park, the skating trail is beautiful and you can also walk to the falls (it s a 15-20 minute walk).

Great park with lots to do. The campground are good sized and have good separation.
But, the trails are terribly marked. Very poor signage that makes no sense at all. I met lots of folks on the trail who had no clue where they are and where they should head.

Really nice park. Unfortunately there isn't much enforcement on loud screaming children and families who don't have respect for other campers. I'd come back, but would make sure the park is high in vacancy.

Skating loop was amazing. Dress warm for the weather.
