| Charleston Lake Natives once sheltered under rock overhangs on the shores of this coldwater lake north of the St. Lawrence River. Then wealthy Victorian cottagers summered here. The rugged look of the north blended with the south still draws hikers and canoeists to these scenic shores and winding trails. Kingston - Google Map |
Fitzroy White pine covers much of this park beside the Ottawa River. Among these century-old trees and a stand of 300-year-old bur oak by the Carp River, you can see kildeer, goldfinches, flickers and white-tailed deer. By river's edge, shale terraces and pillars reveal a glacial past and an even mightier waterway. Ottawa - Google Map |

| Lake on the Mountain Lake on the Mountain is a natural curiosity: it has a constant flow of clean, fresh water, with no apparent source, 60 metres above Lake Ontario. Mohawks offered gifts to its spirits and settlers thought it was bottomless. Come for the view of the Bay of Quinte. Kingston - Google Map |
Murphy's Point This park near Perth offers tours of a restored mica mine and trails - groomed in winter for cross-country skiing - to sawmill ruins and pioneer homesteads. At Big Rideau Lake, pitch your tent at a boat-in campsite and enjoy boating, canoeing and exceptional fishing. Kingston |
| North Beach North Beach protects one of the several baymouth sandbars in Prince Edward County. The 1.2-kilometre ribbon of sand shelters tiny North Bay from Lake Ontario. Spend a day at the beach or go fishing and sailing. Kingston - Google Map |
Rideau River This park occupies a shady bank on the historic Rideau Canal near Kemptville. It is witness to a parade of recreational boats cruising between Kingston and Ottawa. Sandy beaches, a fitness trail and fishing offer distractions. Down the road are hiking trails and a golf course. Ottawa - Google Map |
| Sandbanks Giant sand dunes and golden beaches form two of the largest freshwater baymouth sandbars in the world here, on the shores of Lake Ontario. Efforts to stabilize shifting sands disturbed by farming have revived distinctive dune plants such as bluets, butterfly weed and sand spurge. Trails feature dune stairs to protect this delicate vegetation. Kingston - Google Map |
Sharbot Lake With shoreline on Black and Sharbot lakes, this park edging Highway 7 promises first-class, warm- and cold-water fishing. Nature trails along a ridge between the lakes loop through stands of maple, oak and birch and lead to lookouts. Black Lake has two sandy beaches. Kingston - Google Map |
| Silver Lake Silver Lake near Perth is a long, narrow trough of water carved out by glaciers. While its long sandy beach is the big attraction, a marsh at the eastern end of the lake is another. A boardwalk crosses the marsh through the noisy, colourful habitat of painted turtles and bullfrogs, red-winged black birds and mallards. Ottawa - Google Map |
Voyageur This park is opposite the once furious Long Sault rapids around which voyageurs portaged on their way up the Ottawa River. The Carillon dam raised water levels and created a shoreline of marshes and inlets full of birds and wildlife. Explore on foot, by canoe or, in winter, on skis Ottawa - Google Map |
