This is a great recreational provincial park with lots of activities. The park is on the smaller side, relatively speaking; but, there are plenty of trails and beaches, including a dog beach. Kayaks, canoes pedal boats and even fishing equipment are available for rent. The staff is friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend getting a lakefront site. The view from our site was stunning; it really made our experience all the more enjoyable. The lake itself is calm and beautiful; perfect for kayaking/canoeing. This was probably the best kayaking experience I've had at a provincial park yet! The only negative about this park is that it's located very close to the highway, as such, there's a fair amount of noise, especially at night. It's a small price to pay for an otherwise wonderful experience!

Beautiful park. We came here for a hike while staying and close by awenda provincial park. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The park store was awesome and fully stocked. The trail we did started out just walking through campsites on the road but as soon as we hit the woods it was so beautiful. The trail was about 5km and took just over an hour. There are lots of great spots for pictures. To enter the park for day they charge you by car it's $18 which is a fantastic price for a full day. They had a few beaches and the lake looked amazing. Will be booking a walk in campsite here next year.

Camped with a tent for a couple days and spent most of my time on the water. They made it pretty easy to book online and either check in at the entrance before 4PM or check in online and just drive through to your site after putting in your license plate and such on the check in forum. There are plenty of sites on the different sides of the property. We opted for one closer to the launch, which meant we were clothes to the park, as well as the beach and washrooms. This did mean that we had to walk about 5 minutes to the showers and laundry mat. Many of the campsites have large rock beds that aren't ideal for setting up a tent, especially with stakes but you can find a spot on the site usually that is clear of that. The sites are pretty clean, the campfire/grill area was also clean in the various sites we tried. You aren't allowed to gather dead wood, but they have a general store onsite that sells wood, that is kept in an outdoor large shed with pretty good coverage. The shower water pressure is great and can get really hot or cold, depending on your preference. There were about 10 showers, 5 on each side or so. They also had a handicap shower and washroom. From what I seen, the showers didn't have a time they were locked, so you can enjoy a nice hot shower whenever you felt like it. The park was average size, enough for most young kids. with the option to swim on a relatively large sand beach but once you got in the water, the ground was pretty muddy. They also rented canoes and paddleboats. They also have various programs running on different days, like fire building classes and such. The noise can be annoying for some, with the highway seeming to be pretty close to the campsite, as becomes evident at night when it's car after truck, after car but if you are from the city, it's not a huge deal. This park isn't for someone who wants to be going on trails or spending their time swimming, it's more beneficial for those who like to be on the water. The launch has quite of bit of space with there being 2 docks, one side for mooring and the other for launching. There is a third dock but there is a sign that says it's not meant for boats. The lake is vast so if you're looking to get on the water and catch fish, you can spend all day and catch some decent largemouth (5lbs and down) and a couple small pike, then this may be the park for you. Watch out for the resident water plane. Ultimately, I will probably continue to come back and explore the lake and connecting lakes, if I can get a site by the water with minimal rock bed. Good facilities, quiet environment (besides the cars on the highway) and good general store.

Although I didn't have the opportunity to camp here just yet it was a great experience visiting the park. Site privacy was lacking from my small walkaround. The Park store is adorable. Parking was limited on the beach areas which is mostly my fault for showing up at 11am in hopes in kayaking at such nice beaches for swimming on a gorgeous day. Trails were fun which I did partake in those. Not too lengthy but enough a challenge to get the heart rate up a bit! Will return to kayak for sure!

Would rate 3.5, for muddy beaches not for slightly rainy days too. We’re in the campsite no8 and the nearest washroom was closed and have to go around 700 m for washroom. Beautiful scenery and perfect for boating kayaking, fishing lake not so clean.
