Came to visit Professor's Lake with some family on a hot summer day…read more Parking is free, but there is a fee to access the beach. (varies) The sandy area is quite large, lot's of room to spread out. The water is pretty clean, and is a nice temperature. You can also rent paddle boats and canoes and such for additional fees. They also have a large water slide for the kids to go on. Unfortunately, for some strange reason the day we went it was closed which disappointed the kids. This is a nice clean area to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and can enjoy the beach. 4/5

A breathtaking lake for miles and a…read moretrail to walk, the other side has houses and is private, and as of lately they have fenced off the edges so you can no longer fish there or sit on the rocks which is a pain. Regardless though it's amazing and so relaxing just strolling down by the lake, and taking in the fresh air and the views :)

The complete 8 km walking trail was boring for me as much of it is not covered be trees and it was a hot day. The part that is covered is good. But the only issue is it relatively flat and this does not add any challenges. There is paid parking and many people also park near Home Hardware and a grocery store.

Our contact, Meghan, has been super awesome about handling all of our random questions leading up to the ceremony and has been super accommodating. The park itself is really lovely, right on the lake. They also have an amphitheatre over the water at the beach area which is available to book for functions (this is where we are going to get married). We really wanted to find a place in nature without having to drive too far from the city - this was the perfect spot for us!

We visited on Labour Day to reconnect with nature and decompress a bit…read more As expected the park was very busy but once we started walking on the nature trails, we didn't encounter too many people on our journey around the lake. It was so relaxing walking by the water and through the forest. The weather was perfect, not too hot and not too cold - just right! We walked by many families fishing at the river and also noticed the tree top trekking/zip line above. We want to return to try this next time! There were families having BBQ's at picnic sites which were reserved (guessing you can book them online/through the park ahead of time). They also had a splash pad and pool - wish we brought our bathing suits!! They also had an ice cream truck positioned close to the splash pad and you know we had to get some dipped cones after our hike in the woods. Bring your bills/coins - the truck is cash only. Note, if you have one of the Canada 150 park passes, it does not work for free entry here. For entry for four adults we paid $26. All in all, Heart Lake is a lovely place to visit super close to Brampton.

I don't go in deep but my girl Bella is a good swimmer and there's no stopping her. There's a few briges that I like to sit on and watch the river run. Lots of vaulters so I keep moving so I don't become a meal.
