Beautiful place to go explore or to go camp etc. Highly recommend 👌 the water is also very nice and clean. Can walk out pretty far in most areas , great for kids. Roads are a bit rough but we made it through no problem in a jeep compass. Seen many cars have no issue. Lots of Atvs rolling around so be careful on the roads to keep everyone safe.

One of the most beautiful places I've seen! The roads around here are rough, but a small SUV or truck should do with no problem. Lot's of spots for camping.

A really unique gem just outside of Sudbury. The road is quite rough coming in since this is a non-operating provincial park and is no longer maintained. We went in with a pick up truck but would not recommend for a small or low sitting car. The water and cliffs are beautiful and a great place to hike, swim and just relax.

Best place to be on the lake. Beautiful sand for miles around. Once you go, you won't want to leave.
