"Friends of Rushing River is a non-profit charitable organization that has been working since 1991 to help preserve Rushing River's natural heritage. They are mandated by Ontario Parks to provide natural heritage projects and education for the park.
In the recent past, the organization has mapped out and cleared several canoe routes on Dogtooh Lake that run into Rushing River Park. They have also worked on a five-kilometre hiking trail that runs through the park. The group holds a couple barbecues at the campground each summer and just had their final one in mid-August."
"Friends of" would be more sustainable if they and Ontario Parks branched into working with ALL trail users in a managed way - Ontario Parks doesn't even link to Ontario Trails on its park pages - what is that about anyway?
