PROVINCIAL PARKS IN ONTARIO

EASTERN ONTARIO PARKS

Ottawa, Brockville, Denbigh, Hill Island, Trenton, Nepean, Stirling, Rockport, Gananoque, Cumberland, Whitby, Kingston
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.

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.

Frontenac
This semi-wilderness park features granite outcrops, vast wetlands and mixed forests, plants and wildlife. Trails wind through rugged terrain to Moulton Gorge, the Arkon Lake Bog, the Black Lake homestead and the Crab Lake mines. From Otter Lake, hikers and canoeists head into the interior for glimpses of osprey and kingfisher, deer and black bear, coyote and fox, and abundant beaver.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
