A long, curving lip of sandy beach with warm, shallow water for swimming beckons families with young children to this lake between Chapleau and Timmins. This park is a popular spot for family holidays, fishing trips and canoe outings. Hike alone or with park naturalists to a bog and kettle lakes, or paddle on your own to a favourite spot for viewing moose.
