Hiking
A two-km nature trail starts at the beach and loops towards the
lake shore and back.
Fishing
Lake of the Woods offers some of the best fishing in Ontario. Your
best chance of catching plentiful walleye, northern pike, muskie
and bass is from a boat.
More information on fishing.
Canoeing
Lake of the Woods was an historic water route travelled by parties
of explorers on their way west.

This flat water route is five km south of the park.
Wildlife Viewing
Chipmunks, squirrels and snowshoe hares populate this park along
with white-tailed deer or a few black bears. Bald eagles, ospreys
and cormorants breed on the nearby islands. The beach and shoreline
are good places to spot loons, great blue herons, white pelicans
and sapsuckers.
Boating
Watersports draw most visitors to Sioux Narrows. Launch your boat
at the park ramp for cruising or sailing or waterskiing. A 10-minute
cruise down the lake takes you to centuries-old native pictographs
and petroglyphs.
Swimming
A sandy beach slopes gently into the clean, cool water of Lake of
the Woods.
