Mashkinonje Provincial Park
The Friends of Mashkinonje is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the conservation and sustainable recreational use of Mashkinonje Provincial Park.
What We Have in Store
Bird Watching
Are you a birder? You have a great opportunity to commune with nature and watch our feathered friends. The Park boasts dozens of bird species as they migrate north in the spring, settle in the Park for nesting, or as they head south for winter.
Nature Conservation
Nature conservation is a critical mission for the park. Multi-lingual signage about the park's flora, created by Dr. Peter Beckett, an ecologist and wetlands expert, can be found along our trails. We encourage everyone to stay on the trails, leave no garbage behind, and take with you the day's happy memories.
Barrier Free Trail
The Friends of Mashkinonje are proud to offer nature to all members of our communities, including those using wheelchairs and strollers. Our Loudon Peatland Trail has been approved by an Ontario Parks Landscape Architect for barrier-free usage. The trail meanders through an upland forest, across a 300' boardwalk over a marsh, and to a lookout over a beaver lodge in the marsh. The trail has specially designed benches every few hundred feet, ideal for resting your feet and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.
