Arrowhead Provincial Park – Canoe & Kayak

⚠️ Don’t forget to check Arrowhead park alerts before traveling. Advisories include boil water advisories, fire bans, beach conditions and a whole lot more useful information that might impact your visit.

Day Use Vehicle Permits: because of the popularity of this park, it is one that may need permits to be purchased in advance in order to guarantee park access. This was started in 2021 and will continue in 2022.
If you’re smart, grab the permit before any visit, even mid-week. We found this out the hard way at our local Provincial Park.
You can buy the vehicle permit up to 5 days in advance, which guarantees you access to the park on that day. If you have an annual or season pass, you should still book your permit online, but there’s no extra charge.

Canoe & Kayak Rental

The park offers rentals of canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards. It’s always best to check ahead of your visit to confirm availability and to see if it’s possible to book ahead.

Some parks offer rental or loaner PFDs (Personal Floatation Devices) but, as this is not guaranteed, please make the effort to bring your own.
