Umfreville Park

Umfreville Park Beach

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.
