From streams and ponds to rushing rivers and the expansive Great Lakes: Ontario Parks are home to a network of over one million hectares of lakes and rivers. So it’s no wonder that spending time near or on the water is an integral experience at most provincial parks across the province.
We want to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience in our parks and practicing proper water safety is a key component in that.
Ontario Parks protects not only land, but also a network of over one million hectares of lakes and rivers across the province.
