Fitzroy Provincial Park is a provincial park in the Fitzroy harbour community in the north end of the city of Ottawa, on the Ottawa River in Ontario, Canada, designated as recreational-class by Ontario Parks. White pine covers much of the park. The park has century-old trees and a stand of 300-year-old bur oaks by the Carp River. There are two campgrounds within the park, both with comfort stations, a boat launch and park store. The main campgrounds have 235 campsites, 107 with electrical service, 205 with room for trailers, and a separate area with facilities for group camping and picnicking.
Cross-country skiing is available in the winter on trails maintained by the West Carleton Nordic Ski Club.[3]
