Lake Simcoe

A sizable body of water, Lake Simcoe, is conveniently accessible from Toronto in under an hour. Three provincial parks can be found along the lake's shoreline: Mara, McRae, and Sibbald Point. These parks are all equipped with campers and beaches.

The lake's warm, crystal-clear, and relatively shallow waters are well-known. The lake is surrounded by tiny settlements, however, some of the most convenient locations can be reached from Barrie, Orillia, or the hamlet of Beaverton. There are waterfront parks with green areas, boat launching, and swimming areas on every site.

Here, pleasure boating is king. Numerous boats can be seen exploring the lake on warm summer weekends while admiring the beauty. Stopping at shallow, sandy areas and going for a swim is a well-liked pastime. Just keep an eye out for all the boats anchored just offshore to find them close to Fox Island and Snake Island. Fishing at Lake Simcoe is well-liked by people who want to capture perch. The greatest time to accomplish this in Beaverton is during the winter when ice hut rentals are widely accessible.
