Stepping Stones
About 15 kilometres east of North Bay (as the crow flies) there's a band of large boulders stretching most of the way across a narrow section of the Mattawa river. 10,000 years ago, as ice retreated, these rocks were left exposed. They were known as a location marker for voyageurs and Indigenous travellers along this historic trading route.
To get there from North Bay, start on the SSR711 to connect with the D Trail. Head north till you get to the A1 and follow it until the river narrows. They'll be on your left.
Ghost Lake Beach
Ghost Lake Beach is about 15 minutes from Dryden. It's a beautiful beach, with easy access for day-trippers, anglers, and swimmers. There is a boat launch, canoe rental, walking path, a picnic area, and restrooms. Great place to spend the day with the family.
In the winter, the area can be used for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
Umfreville Park
Located at the end of the Umfreville Walking Trail is the Umfreville Historic Park. A secluded rest area off of Highway 72, visitors can enjoy a sandy beach area and a beautiful view of Abram Lake. While there are a bit more pebbles than on the other beaches, it's great to put in your feet or have a dip on a hot summer's day.
The park is equipped with picnic tables and outhouses for the convenience of those who stop to take in the views. Umfreville Park is a favourite destination for cyclists.
