Glamping in the Woods

1 site · Lodging34 acres · Foresters Falls, ON
This 30ac property was once the site of a Carding Mill used for the processing of sheep’s wool. Before wool can be spun into thread or yarn, it must be combed, also referred to as carded, to straighten the wool fiber and remove impurities. Water-powered carding machines like the one that was at this site made it much easier and faster to prepare the wool for spinning. It was said that it would take a family months to prepare as much wool by hand as a carding machine could card in a day. The carding mill on this site would have stood along the creek which is leading from the pond to the Grants Settlement road. Earth berms which you can still see today near the opening of the creek, held back water to power the mill. The pond would have been about 10ft deeper than it currently is now. Over the years the beavers have taken up the charge of damming the creek and making a natural aquatic habitat. The Old Mill Cabin was constructed in 2020 using salvaged beams from the old fallen down barn that you pass on your way in. It was a family affair with all getting involved in the process.

The best camping near Ottawa River Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Immerse yourself in the tranquil splendor of Ottawa River Provincial Park, a pristine day-use haven where nature's embrace is omnipresent. Venture along the river's edge, where the gentle lapping of water against the shore sets a peaceful rhythm for picnicking, bird watching, and soaking in the scenic vistas. With no campgrounds to speak of, the park's allure lies in its simplicity and the unspoiled charm of its landscapes.

When to go

The best time to visit Ottawa River Provincial Park is during the warm summer months, from June to August, when the full splendor of nature is on display and the weather is ideal for outdoor activities. Winter offers a stark, frozen beauty, but be mindful that some areas may be inaccessible due to snow and ice.

Know before you go

  • Ottawa River Provincial Park is a day-use area only, with park hours from sunrise to 10pm daily.
  • Remember, no camping or open fires are permitted within the park boundaries.
  • Portable gas stoves with a control valve are allowed for cooking.
