Chutes Provincial Park, Massey
The only provincial park on Highway 17 between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie, Chutes is an excellent stopover for travellers and a base to explore the North Channel of Lake Huron. Situated on the Aux Sables River, the park gets its name from a chute that once diverted logs around the waterfall. Follow riverside nature trails to see rapids upstream.  

NOTE: Chutes Provincial Park is NOT maintained nor owned by the Township of Sables-Spanish Rivers.

Kenneth Teasdale Community Park and Trails, Massey   

In 1979, the Teasdale family donated 129 acres of land north and south of Reserve Road to the municipality with the hopes that it would remain in its natural state, as a place for residents and visitors to enjoy.  An Ad Hoc Committee is being formed to develop a hiking/snowshoeing/skiing trail system in the Kenneth Teasdale Park.
