Ready to head outdoors this summer and enjoy new experiences? Head to this Ontario park and take a dip in its three sandy beaches and play a few rounds of disc golf on its 18-hole course. Here’s what to know about Mikisew Provincial Park.
About a three-hour drive, north of Toronto, is Mikisew Provincial Park. It’s an outdoor lovers paradise!
This relaxing and pet-friendly parkland offers plenty of space to enjoy all outdoor activities. We’re talking canoeing, kayaking, hiking, disc golf and even stand-up paddle boarding.
Ever played disc golf? Well now is your chance. There’s a nine and 18-hole course for both beginners and intermediate players. You can either rent the discs or purchase them at the Park Office, according to Ontario Parks.

If you’re looking for a hiking adventure, embark on a journey along four interconnected loops that guide you through forests and wetlands. These trails are: Old Dog Trail, a short 800 m trek; Lakeview Trail, 300 m; Maple Canyon Trail, 2.3 km and Beaver Meadow Trail, 2 km.
After a long adventure, you’ll want to kick off those boots and relax on the shoreline of Eagle Lake. Enjoy one of its three sand beaches, the North Beach and Centre Beach are located in the Hardwoods Campground and the day-use beach is located in the day-use area.
And if you have a furry, four legged friend, here’s one more beach to enjoy and it’s specifically made for dogs. Let your pup run wild at the leash-free dog park and fenced beach. The pet exercise area is located in the day-use part of the park so it should not be hard to find.
If you want to take a dip into the lake, you can rent a board or bring your own, and paddle around the small islands on Eagle Lake.
Mikisew Provincial Park offers rentals for paddleboards, canoes, and kayaks for whatever suits your fancy.
The park is officially open for the season and since it’s already feeling like summer, we don’t blame you if you’re already planning a weekend trip.
Enjoy the lovely weather!
