Magnifiques paysages à découvrir.
Le chemin de randonnée est bien aménagé et accessible a tout le monde même aux poussettes.
Beaucoup de tables disponibles pour le pique nique.
Je recommande sans hésiter.

Absolutely gorgeous!! 😍 I had no idea this place existed! It looks like a place from Northern Ontario. It is spectacularly beautiful with interesting rock formations, a cave, falls, trees! They have paths for you to walk on, or you can swim at the beach. They have mini golf and a playground. Some people go canoeing or kayaking. We loved climbing into the cave!

Food: Yes, there is a food truck that sells ice cream and drinks (water, etc). See my pics.

Washrooms: Yes, at the beach and also portable toilets along the trail.

Water bottle filling station: No, but they did have a food truck selling water bottles.

Wheelchair accessibility: The beach is wheelchair accessible with a ramp, but the trails are not. See the steps in my pic.

We just spent 5 days camping with friends. Clean and quiet this time of year. We enjoyed hiking to the caves and around the old Mill and really enjoyed kayaking the calm beautiful water. Just a little over an hour to putter the nooks and crannies but so good for your soul!

We had a great day experience. We have been there on a Long Weekend. I love the grounds. Very well kept. A great family environment. The park was not very crowded, there was grass everywhere even near the beach, the beach was well maintained with adequate amount of sand. For those who like to hike, there are plenty of options to walk around the lake. This park is much better maintained.
We rented Canoe and it was an awesome experience. You have Plenty of space for Kayaking.
From Hiking, Canoeing, Fishing & Picnic setups this park will not disappoint you.

Beautiful and quite easy trail. (We were with small kids so we went to the mill ruins, but then decided to go around and visit the lookout - worth it!!).
There are a picturesque mill ruins, the dam with kind of waterfall, cave.
A lot of parking places, small beach, picnik area with bbq, drinking water and toilets.
