Inverhuron Provincial Park is a provincial park located on the shores of Lake Huron in the small village of Inverhuron, Ontario, near Tiverton, Ontario, Canada. When the park opened in 1959, it quickly became one of the most popular provincial parks featuring nature trails and beautiful beaches. However, safety concerns due to the construction of the Bruce Nuclear Power Development forced the closure of overnight camping at the park in 1976. When Bruce Nuclear closed and decommissioned its Heavy Water plant in 1998, safety concerns where minimized and the process of opening up the park again for overnight camping began.
On July 8th 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.
