Emily Provincial Park is a recreation class provincial park within the Ontario Parks system.[1] Located on the Pigeon River near the village of Omemee, Ontario, Emily has 300 large private campsites, swimming, fishing, paddling, and a Discovery Program.[2] Established in 1957, the 69 ha (170 acres) park was develped on former farming lands providing access to the popular Trent-Severn Waterway via the Pigeon River.[2]
Park ecology and development edit
The park was developed with recreational use of the land in mind, with a protection objective relating to the important wetland shorelines of the Pigeon River, which are highly sensitive to resource management and shoreline development.[3]
Under the leadership of Department of Lands and Forests Minister Ben Greenwood, Emily Provincial Park was established as part of the first wave of mass provincial park developments in Ontario's post-war recreation boom.[4] After the initial 29 ha (72 acres) of land in the northern side of the park were donated to the Crown by the Township of Emily in 1956 for the development of the park, work began immediately to plan use of the land and plant a number of native tree species along the border of the park.[3] The final 40 ha (99 acres) of land was acquired in 1966, allowing the further development of campgrounds, facilities and trails.[citation needed]
The park has become safe refuge to a number of species of reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, and waterfowl. An osprey nesting platform was built within the marsh area of the park, frequently used as a safe nesting ground for the bird of prey species common to the area.[citation needed]
