Inverhuron Provincial Park is a provincial park located on the shores of Lake Huron beside the small village of Inverhuron, Ontario, near Tiverton, Ontario, Canada. The Park opened in 1956, featuring 351 campsites,[1] nature trails and beaches.[citation needed]
With the construction of a Heavy Water "Deuterium Oxide" plant at the Bruce Nuclear Power Development, Ontario Hydro purchased the park from the Ministry of Natural Resources in 1973 for issues of safety and security.[1] Ontario Hydro also signed a 999-year lease with the Ministry which allowed the park to operate as a day-use park only—overnight camping was completely phased out by 1976. When Bruce Nuclear closed and decommissioned its Heavy Water plant in 1998, safety concerns were minimized and the process of opening up the park again for overnight camping began.
On 8 July 2005, the park re-opened as an overnight camping destination featuring 125 private campsites with electrical service, convenient comfort stations, and an improved network of trails.
