Education
Natural heritage education programs are offered throughout the summer.

Fishing
Lakes Restoule and Stormy offer anglers excellent opportunities to catch pickerel, pike, muskie, large and small mouth bass, lake trout and even lake whitefish. Winter anglers often catch splake in Stormy Lake.

Canoeing
Restoule Upper French Route 72 km (4-6 days) 12 portages, C class
Summer is the best time to paddle this flat water route. It follows the route the Ojibwa took with Samuel de Champlain to the French River and into Lake Nipissing. The return voyage takes you through a seldom-travelled backwater to the park.

Wildlife Viewing
Wildlife viewing is excellent with a healthy coyote, wolf, bear, otter, pine marten, moose and deer. To the northeast, the park abuts one of the largest white-tailed deer herds in Ontario and many deer wander into Restoule for the food and shelter provided by hemlock trees.

More than 90 species of birds, including the rare and endangered peregrine falcon, inhabit the park. Highlights include a heron rookery, waterfowl nesting areas and a large variety of birds of prey.

Boating
Both Stormy and Restoule Lakes are ideal for extensive boating. Boat launches on both lakes offer easy access. And there are also docking facilities.

Swimming
Lake Restoule features three sandy beaches that slope gently into the water and are buoyed for swimmer safety. One beach permits canine visitors.

Cycling
At Angels Point there are 2.5 km of cycling trails. And plans are being made for 15 km of mountain bike trails to the top of the cliff and beyond. The park has a fleet of top quality mountain bikes for rent. Ask at the Gatehouse about special rules that apply to bicycle riders.

Hunting
Hunting in this park is subject to the Ontario Hunting Regulations. Certain restrictions apply. For more information, contact the park or your local area or district office of the Ministry of Natural Resources.
