Sharbot Lake Provincial Park

Biking

There are no dedicated bicycle trails at Sharbot Lake but bicycles are permitted on campground roads.

Birding

Listen for the haunting call of the loon on the lake and for the songs of warblers, Eastern Phoebes, Scarlet Tanagers, Barred Owls and Red-Shouldered Hawks in the woods.

Boating

Sharbot Lake, with its docks, is ideal for large boats and waterskiing. Black Lake is more suitable for smaller boats. Canoes can be rented in the park.

Canoeing

Paddle on the sheltered waters of Black Lake or tackle the larger Sharbot Lake. A short portage connects the two bodies of water. Canoes can be rented in the park.

Bring along your Discovery Activity Book (or pick one up at the Exploration Station), and use the equipment and materials provided to explore the park, observe plants and animals, and discover the wonders of nature. Be sure to share your observations with park staff! For more information keep an eye out for weekly calendar of events posted throughout the park.
