A wilderness area in Canada's largest city? That's right! Not too far from the skyscrapers of downtown Toronto, urban dwellers can see a different landscape where historic farms, century-old trees, peaceful meadows and lush wetlands await you at your transit stop. Rouge Park is over 40 km2, protecting two National Historic Sites and a variety of ecosystems joining the post-glacial Oak Ridges Moraine, roughly 50 km north of Toronto, and the City's biggest wetland, where the Rouge River empties into Lake Ontario.
Cedar Beach is a fantastic quick get-away for Toronto folks, even those with small motor scooters. The tent camping sites are clean, shaded, near the well maintained, well-lit bathrooms and beach. This is a great park with great staff,amenities and recreational activities including a peaceful night sleep.
*Please expand the under utilized south-east picnic area for more tent-only campsites (without water or electricity) for the busy, heavily booked week-ends.Read more
