What visitors say

Garnet Graham Beach Park sits on the southeast corner of Cameron Lake in Fenelon Falls. Reviewers describe clear, warm water in summer, shade trees and a view of boats heading to and from Lock 34 on the Trent-Severn Waterway. It's a lively town park rather than a quiet nature spot.

There's plenty for families: two small sandy beaches, a splash pad, a playground, beach volleyball and picnic tables along the waterfront path. Washrooms are near the splash pad, barbecues are allowed and parking is free. The ground slopes a bit toward the water.

The Victoria Rail Trail starts close by and is good for a walk or bike ride, and the falls, lock and downtown shops and ice cream are a few minutes away on foot. Paddlers can launch on Cameron Lake, and one reviewer mentions fishing from the park.

Weekends in summer get busy, so arrive early for a good picnic spot. If you're walking to the falls, note they're across County Road 121 from the lock. Anglers should know the Fenelon River below the dam is a seasonal sanctuary.
