Bon Echo Provincial Park is known for its Mazinaw Rock featuring over 260 Indigenous pictographs – Canada’s largest visible collection.

According to Ontario Parks, the canoeing spots include Kishkebus Canoe Route – a 21 km loop that “takes you past Indigenous pictographs to the still waters of the nature reserve on the east side of the park,” Joeperry and Pearson Lakes, Mazinaw Lake and the five-day Mississippi River Canoe Route with 17 portages.
Love fishing? Hike along on one of their many routes like Cliff Top Trail which is only accessible by water (canoe and kayak rentals are available), High Pines Trail, Shield Trail, and Pet Exercise Trail.
Depending on which one you choose, they run from 1 km in length to 17 km in length.
Now after a lengthy excursion, you’ll want to cool off and dip your toes in some nice, refreshing water. Pick from one of the three natural sand beaches.
“The Main Beach is located in Lower Mazinaw Lake, South Beach is located in the day use area, and North Beach is in Sawmill Bay campground,” according to Ontario Parks.
Loving your experience? You can also go camping here, from RV and car camping to backcountry, and roofed accommodations.
It’s important to note that there are admission fees to enter the park, starting at $10 plus tax. Click here for pricing.
