Take a dip in one of our local swimming holes! Consider staying for a picnic or maybe overnight at one of our area's cottages, camping or RV parks.

The local health unit monitors bacterial levels at beaches on a weekly basis in the summer. Check the latest results before swimming.

There are plenty of great beaches, swimming rocks and docks throughout the Township including:

Kendrick's Park

Offers a shallow sandy beach which is monitored by the Heath Unit to ensure safe swimming conditions. The swim area is marked with a floating line. No lifeguard on site.

Haskins Point

Includes a swim platform for deep water entry and an exit ladder. You may also enjoy the Red Chairs, part of Parks Canada's Red Chairs Experience Program, and the view of passing boats. No lifeguard on site.

Furnace Falls

A popular swimming spot with village residents. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the pavilion. There is no sand or beach at this location and no lifeguard on site.

Thousand Islands National Park

Accessible only by boat, there are two sand beaches at Thousand Islands National Park. One is on Grenadier Island and the other is on Thwartway, also known as Leek Island. There are also plenty of great swimming rocks and docks throughout the park.
