Grant’s Creek protects a provincially significant wetland and provides an ecological link to Algonquin Park. The forest surrounding the creek is dominated by white and red pine and poplar. The creek winds through a number of cold water trout lakes and includes a number of small waterfalls and a scenic waterslide closer to the Ottawa River.
Location: Grant’s Creek Provincial Park is situated between Bissett Creek and Mackey, and is approximately 10 kilometres, more or less, from either location.
Park Facilities: There is a boat launch within the park.
