Fishing
Pike, bass, perch and other panfish are all possible catches at North Beach. Salmon and trout are also possibilities in Lake Ontario - particularly in summer from a chartered boat with a downrigger.

Wildlife Viewing
Many bird species pass through the park on their migratory routes. Keep your eyes open for hawks, saw-whet owls and turkey vultures.

Boating
The sheltered waters of North Bay provide a perfect environment for all types of small watercraft. Cruise the bay on a sailboard or set out by canoe to explore.

Swimming
North Beach offers three kilometres of fine sand beach facing both Lake Ontario and North Bay. On Lake Ontario, the water is shallow near the shore - at a distance, be cautious of the possible undertow. North Bay has a steep drop off that is not suitable for young children or inexperienced swimmers.
