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
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.
Canoeing
Lake of the Woods offers many opportunities for exploration. Canoes are available for rent from the park office.
Fishing
Lake of the Woods is internationally renowned for its walleye fishing; Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass are also extremely popular with anglers. Fishing licences are available a short distance away in the Town of Sioux Narrows.

Sioux Narrows has three hiking trails.
Deer Path Trail – This short 600 m trail connects the park office and campground.

Fern Valley Trail – 1.6 km, easy
