Biking
Cycling on park roads is a great way to get around and an enjoyable way to explore the park. Visitors are reminded that Ontario law requires helmets to be worn by those 18 years old and younger, when cycling on roads, including those in provincial parks.
Birding - Festivals
Lake of the Woods is home to a variety of migratory birds. Be sure to look for the large American White Pelicans.
Boating
Some of the most spectacular scenery in Northwestern Ontario can be viewed on the waters of Lake of the Woods. Launch your boat at the park ramp for cruising, sailing or waterskiing. A ten minute cruise down the lake takes you to centuries-old pictographs.
Camping - Winter (including Roofed)
While the park is closed during the winter, a cross-country ski trail beginning at the entrance gate will take visitors on a tour of the park and surrounding area. For information on conditions and the trail route, please contact the Township of Sioux Narrows Nestor Falls at 807-226-5241.
