Overview

Sign at the entrance of Sasagiu Rapids Provincial Park.

The main feature of this small park is the Sasagiu Rapids, a rapids in the Grass River between Setting Lake and Brostrom Lake, that runs under the highway.

The park was formed in 1974 as a small wayside park, and expanded its boundaries later.^[2]

The park area was leased to a private operator in 1992 and continues to operate solely as a campground and recreation area.

Accommodations

There is a privately operated campground encompassing the boundaries of the park called Sasagiu Rapids Campground. The Sasagiu Rapids Lodge and campsites (different owner) are just outside the park campground's south and east boundary.
