Non-operating parks do not have operating dates. Please note that activities and facilities may be temporarily unavailable or restricted for public health.
Availability of some facilities and activities may be restricted to specific areas of the park, may be ecologically dependent, or may be seasonally weather dependent.
Before you visit: check what facilities/activities are available and pack what you need (e.g. water, snacks, mask/face covering, and hand sanitizer). Postpone your visit if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 or have been asked to isolate.
When you visit: Continue to follow public health advice including practicing physical distancing by keeping at least two metres from others, wearing a face covering where required, when physical distancing may be a challenge or not possible and when entering indoor public spaces, and wash your hands regularly with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
Bissett Creek flows from Big Bissett Lake in Algonquin Park to the Ottawa River. Waterloo Lake, which is a natural lake trout and brook trout lake, drains via Waterloo Creek into Bissett Creek. The west end of Waterloo Lake is a rugged bedrock landscape with mixed upland forest on thin soils or open rock. Closer to Algonquin Park, the creek is more rugged containing small waterfalls and large boulders. Bissett Creek is flatter and shallower as it meanders through relatively flat terrain towards the Ottawa River. The area offers a variety of recreational opportunities including an Algonquin Parks canoe route that connects to the Ottawa River.
Location: Approximately 10 kilometres southwest of the town of Bissett Creek, just north of Algonquin Provincial Park.
