Borrow tools to help make the most of your adventure from our Library of Things:
The Ontario Parks Pass offers free admission for one vehicle and its occupants. With more than 100 operating provincial parks to choose from, you can explore skiing and hiking trails and day use beaches across our beautiful province. You must have a valid library card to borrow a pass.
New for 2025
Friends of the Huntsville Public Library has generously donated three additional passes. One of these passes is a "Lucky Day" pass, which cannot be put on hold and has a 3-day loan period. Feel free to drop by; if the pass is available, it could be your lucky day!
Park capacity limitations will apply. Advance registration may be required for certain parks. Please visit the Ontario Parks reservation system to make a free day use reservation using the Ontario Parks Pass. Visit the Ontario Parks day use page for more information about the advance booking system.
Nearby parks
We are fortunate to live in a region that has many provincial parks and hiking trails close by! Check this list of nearby operating and non-operating parks to prepare for the perfect outing:
Please note: Both Algonquin and Arrowhead parks require day use visitors to make an online reservation prior to visiting these parks. This will ensure that you have a parking spot when you arrive. Reservations can be made up to 5 days in advance.
No pass needed adventures
