The legacy of American settlers to Lake Ontario’s fertile shore remains – a tiny cemetery and log cabin – at this recreational park east of Oshawa. From the bluff, watch for migrating birds – warblers in spring, waterfowl and raptors in fall – or resident terns and plovers. In winter, skate on McLaughlin Bay or toboggan down the hills.

Bringing your own supply of firewood to the park this summer? Please read this.

Note: Darlington Provincial Park is closed to public vehicle access for both camping and day use until Friday, May 11, 2007. This closure is a result of a major municipal water and sewage construction project that is being completed along the park roadways. Walk-in access is available but due to the construction project parking is restricted.
