Overview
Chutes Provincial Park offers a tranquil retreat just outside the community of Webbwood. Named after the historic logging chutes that once diverted timber around the waterfalls, this park serves as a serene gateway to Northern Ontario's wilderness. It provides a picturesque setting along the Aux Sables River, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a mix of natural history, photography, and outdoor recreation.
Location & Surroundings
Situated conveniently along the Trans-Canada Highway, the park acts as a perfect stopover for travelers journeying between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie. Despite its proximity to the highway, the dense forest of pine and poplar provides a peaceful buffer from the outside world. The landscape is defined by the dramatic drop of the river, creating the spectacular waterfalls and rapids that give the park its unique character and name.

Visitors can also enjoy a large sandy beach for swimming and well-maintained picnic areas, ensuring a comfortable stay while remaining fully immersed in the rugged beauty of the northern wilderness.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The highlight of the park is the Twin Bridges Trail, a scenic six-kilometer loop that offers multiple lookout points over the waterfalls and the Seven Sisters Rapids. Anglers will find excellent opportunities for fishing in the river, while the quiet forest trails are perfect for birdwatching and photography. Beyond the park gates, the local community of Webbwood provides basic supplies and a glimpse into the friendly, relaxed culture of the North Shore region.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is a fantastic choice for nature-loving families and road trippers looking for a scenic break from the highway. Its manageable size and accessible trails make it perfect for those who want to experience the North’s beauty without the need for deep backcountry hiking.

Scenic Beauty: ★★★★★ (5/5) Chutes Provincial Park is a visual treat. The centerpiece is the stunning waterfall, which is even more impressive in person than in photos. Surrounded by lush forests and well-maintained trails, the park offers numerous opportunities for scenic walks and photography. The tranquility of the area, especially near the falls, provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation.

Facilities and Cleanliness: ★★★★☆ (4/5) The facilities at Chutes Provincial Park were generally in good condition. The restrooms and picnic areas were clean and well-maintained. However, there were some minor issues with park etiquette from a few campers. Specifically, the group camping displayed a lack of consideration for other park-goers.

While this was an isolated incident, it did slightly affect the overall experience. Trails and Activities: ★★★★☆ (4/5) The park offers a variety of trails suited for different levels of hikers. The trails are well-marked and provide access to beautiful viewpoints, including the main waterfall. The park’s other amenities, such as picnic spots and fishing areas, are well-positioned to enhance the visitor experience.

We stayed at Chutes Provincial for about 3 days and it was a fantastic time. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean and maintained, and the park itself was breath taking. Lots to explore on the trails as well as the beach. Though it was rather rocky and water shoes are recommended.

This is one of my all-time favorite provincial parks, and it's not too far from home for me and my little guy! We enjoyed the trials and all the shoots off the trails, The amazing amount of waterfalls here makes it such a magical little spot! The staff and warden's of the park were great and so friendly! It's Deffinately a place to travel too if you haven't been yet! It is very kid friendly and has a very calm atmosphere, sn sleeping with the sound of the waterfalls is something you won't soon forget. There is Poirier's store not far for all your last-minute needs, and it wasn't overly priced, and to refill your ice as needed!
