⚠️ Don’t forget to check Bonnechere 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
paddling through Bonnechere Park is an enjoyable way to take in the natural beauty of Ontario. The meandering river and winding channels offer scenic views while also providing habitat for creatures big & small like turtles!
