There are entrances along Lakeshore Road and on the Maple Grove side. The atmosphere is quiet even during the day, so you can meditate while listening to the sound of the waves and birdsong. On a clear day, you can see the Hamilton and Niagara area beautifully. This is one of the best conditioned parks on Oakville's waterfront trail. There is no car park or washroom.

Winter wonderland run or anytime! For the visual runners who enjoy landscapes & waterfront views, this spot is ideal:) Entrance from either Maple Grove (south) or the Lakeshore with a hidden wooded path, opening up to the expansive waterfront with backdrops of gorgeous residences. Lively in the summer, quiet in the fall & almost desolate in the winter. Likely, will only come across local residents depending on time of day. Nice side trail or supplement to Lakeshore east run. Choose to double back, run west on Lakeshore to Howard (south), along stunning waterfront of Esplande and north on Park to continue along Lakeshore again.

This is a quiet, beautiful and secluded place. It is very calm and relaxing and the view of the lake is just amazing.

Great little place to walk along the shore. Whether that be the early morning crisp breeze or the evening sunset, the horizon will be sure to not only relax but to calm.

One of the secluded hidden gems of Oakville. It's a very short walk (~10mins) but you get very close to Lakeshore and the views are beautiful like most parks near Lakeshore. Visited last summer and there were a loooot of flies as it was near sunset time, so we had to leave after a bit because it was kind of annoying. But a great place to visit for a bit. Last time I checked in December, the park was closed to visitors though so not sure what the timings are.
