It’s a treasured part of our national heritage and a world-class destination for travelers. It was built for conflict, but flourished through hospitality. People today come from far and wide to visit this UNESCO World Heritage Site and experience its completely unique blend of nature, history and outdoor fun.

This is a great spot for hiking, picnicking, canoeing, and (during spring and fall) catching the spawning run for Rainbow Trout and Chinook salmon. If the weather’s nice, spend the afternoon at Sauble Beach, the second-longest freshwater beach in Canada and one of the best places in the country to catch a sunset.

Overlooking Lake Huron, this destination offers visitors more than 10 km of sandy beaches, 10 distinct walking trails, and 14 km of bike trails (or, during winter months, 38 km of groomed ski trails). Those looking for something more high-adventure can also rent canoes, hydro bikes, paddleboards, and more.

The Schreiber Superior Picnic table is located at Schreiber Beach. After your picnic, enjoy a short hike along a portion of the Casque Isles Trail to the Parks Canada Red Chairs. Directions: Turn right out of the Golden Rail parking area onto the highway, and make an immediate right onto Winnipeg St. At the end of the street, turn right onto Scotia St. and left on Subway St. Follow the signs to the beach, turning right after going under the railway bridge, about 2 km.

The Roberta Bondar Park and Tent Pavilion is an outdoor venue that can accommodate a variety of special events including: concerts, festivals, fundraising activities, ceremonies and wedding receptions.

Hannam Park is located in the Town of Rainy River on the Rainy River. There is something for everyone at this public park. There is a swimming area, a boat launch, a playground as well as a splash pad/wading pool! During the summer, there is a canteen with great food and service.

You can also go for a walk on the River Trails which are accessible from the park. One of two of the trails is wheelchair accessible. 

Machin Park sits where a Hudson Bay Post used to be on Eagle Lake. There is a great playground area for the kids and a small swimming area.

The park is also known as "The Post" or Hudson Post Park. 

The hub of the trail system in Vermilion Bay, Pine Tree Park has a beautiful pavilion with picnic tables for visitors to take advantage of.

There is also a small beach and swimming area along with a government dock and boat launch.

Nicknamed "The 99 Steps", this conservation area features an accessible lookout to enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views at the ridge of the forest. After that it gets a bit more challenging on the Red Oak Trail.

The only downside is there are only 8 spots to park (and parking on the road will get you a ticket or towed) so if there's no room try nearby Scanlon Creek in Bradford or Rogers Reservoir in East Gwillimbury.

A series of beautiful trails conveniently located within the city limits of North Bay. The conservation area is open all year and makes a great opportunity to reconnect with nature.
