This Ontario park is home to four warm & sandy beaches

Let’s go to the beach! The weather is looking nice and we’re eager to head outdoors this summer. And this Ontario park is the perfect place to do some exploring. Voyageur Provincial Park is next on our Ontario road trip list and here’s what you should know about it.

Just minutes away from the Quebec border, about an hour east of Ottawa is Voyageur Provincial Park.

It is a popular destination that spans across 3,600-acres.

It rests along the banks of the Ottawa River and is home to over 400 seasonal campsites – Champlain, Iroquois, and Portage.

There are several recreational activities that you can do here, including biking, birding, boating, canoeing, and fishing. An outdoor lover’s paradise!

You’ll also find two walking trails here; the Coureur des Bois Trail which guides you along terrestrial and aquatic habitats and a second trail that links Champlain Campground to the day-use area.

These are the perfect trails to get your steps in.

Whether you’re there for the day or on a camping adventure, you can enjoy a hot summer day at one of their four beaches.

Per Ontario Parks, the day-use picnic area has two beaches, another by Champlain Campground, and the fourth is shared between Iroquois and Portage.

The warm and sandy beaches all have a marked and buoyed swimming area.

Get your summer fits together and get ready for a thrilling outdoor adventure. Have fun!
