Fishing
Fishing is best from a boat, but you can also try your luck anywhere near the Nottawasaga river bank within park boundaries. A fishing access point is located in the dunes area of the park. You could catch rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, splake and pickerel - especially in the spring and fall. Boat launch facilities in Beach Area One allow easy access to Georgian Bay.
