If you’re a hiker, this won’t be the Ontario Park for you, but if you’re a lounger then you’re in luck.

The waters are protected and because they’re shallow, watching little ones is much easier.

Another activity you can do while you lounge – fish!

Rainbow trout, Northern Pike, Salmon, Lake Trout, and Walleye are all possible catches at Batchawana Bay.

This is a day-use park only, so no overnight camping is allowed.
