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.
Experience northern wilderness in the midst of 55 acres of mature forest set on the northeast shores of Wasi (Wistiwasing) Lake. Situated only 15 minutes from the northwest border of Algonquin Park in beautiful and historical Chisholm Township, enjoy the sites and sounds of ducks, loons, blue heron and deer that frequently visit our 2000 feet of shore line and dock area. An 1800-acre lake, Wasi is a peaceful lake with private and undeveloped crown land, rugged and sandy shorelines. Retreating to a peaceful and private setting allows you to enjoy, unwind and rejuvenate.
