Hardy Lake Provincial Park Review
Central Ontario
🗓️ Year-round, with vibrant fall colours and quiet winter experiences
Hardy Lake Provincial Park is a non-operating park spanning 808 hectares in Central Ontario, established in 1985. It is renowned for its unique Atlantic coastal plain species and an inland section of displaced Georgian Bay shoreline, offering a distinctive natural environment. The park features well-maintained hiking trails, including an 8km loop around the lake, and a picturesque wooden boardwalk leading to a small island. Camping and motorized vehicles are not permitted, preserving its tranquil, natural setting.

"I really love this hike! It was challenging enough to give me a workout, but it wasn't that difficult. Lots of great views, saw a lot of wildlife, And the water was clear enough to swim in. I think the only downside I can think of is some of the trails are a bit rough."
"Great place for active leisure! A lot of natural scenic spots for pictures. Choice of easy, medium and hard walking trails. We choose the hardest and in fact it wasn’t so complicated - just very long."
"It's a big park. The trails are easy, not much of slopes. Kids and pets friendly. Easily spend a few hours here. Our favorite part is the boardwalk to the mini island. Great picture!!"
