Paddling
Rouge National Urban Park is beautiful from the water. Canoe, kayak or paddleboard down the Rouge River or around the tranquil Rouge Marsh and observe the rich diversity of birds that call this area home. Rouge Marsh is the largest and best remaining wetland in the City of Toronto.
A popular route is to paddle down the Rouge River south from Glen Rouge Campground to Rouge Marsh, which takes about 1 hour and passes through some of the park’s most stunning wetlands. Rouge Marsh is large, be sure to keep your point of entry in mind.
