    Presqu'ile Provincial Park - Part of the path that borders the water

    Presqu'ile Provincial Park was beautiful. The tent sites are all fairly private, and the bathrooms,…read moreshowers, and water sources aren't too far away. We were disappointed that the Nature center was "closed for the season." We were also disappointed that beach swimming was closed due to high bacteria levels. We enjoyed getting ice cream cones in the camp store which was run by really helpful park staff. Our kids loved the trail that parallels the water, and it was neat to see a lighthouse up close. I will say that the mosquitoes were terrible, so don't go without an ample supply of bug spray. Also, the raccoons in this park are BOLD and cheeky. Keep your food and trash out of reach of the critters. Overall, though, it was a beautiful park.

My wee family has been exploring. I went to Presqu'ile Provincial Park on a day pass and enjoyed a short, family-friendly hike and a swim on the sandy beach. It was a lovely day! The water was warm at the end of June (miracle!) and the park is doing a wonderful job implementing social distancing. I highly recommend the daytrip. So many bonus points for the chip trucks at the entrance. Chip truck poutine is always five stars.

    For years, I have been driving along Water Street whenever I'm in Newmarket. I enjoy the scenic…read moredetour. It allows me to travel between Yonge and Leslie Streets using a smaller set of streets. I have passed by Fairy Lake Park countless times. Yesterday, I finally paid it a visit. This park is steps away from Newmarket's Main Street South. It's where all the cool, small shops and eateries are. I was at this park to partake in the Newmarket Craft Beer Festival. What stands out during this time of year is the park's fountain. It can be clearly seen from Water Street. It's enjoyable to look at, even on a gloomy day. At first, it looked like parking would be crazy. However, when I turned onto a side road that gets you to parking at this park, it was great. There are roughly three parking lots going down this road. All are free. I decided to park on the side road where there are designated spots. It was humid and rainy. That combination is horrible to visit a beer festival. However, I survived with an umbrella, some grub, and, of course, beer. There are portable washrooms at this park. It was a nice touch. I saw geese enjoying the rain and one another's company. There is plenty of geese poop around, so look down when you walk. I liked the various signs scattered in this park. I love self-discovery tours and I got a decent one yesterday. I learned that this park is also known as the Wesley Brooks Memorial Conservation Area. Its namesake was born in Mount Albert and moved to Newmarket after serving in World War II. He served as Clerk-Treasurer of Newmarket and continued serving the town for nearly two decades. Fairy Lake is a man-made lake. It's maintained by a dam on the East Holland River. The lake was originally a millpond, but it's now a recreational area. The dam has been at the lake since 1801. This park is open year-round. Parking and admission to this park are free. I can see some paths being off-limits during the wintertime, though. It was pretty muddy when I walked on the grassy parts. I appreciated the gazebos and covered pavilions yesterday. They kept everyone dry from the rain and much happier! There is a playground at this park. Naturally, no one was using it while it was raining. I hope to return and enjoy walking through this park when it's dry and sunny. There's an ice cream store on Main Street South that I'd love to drop by. I can see myself spending some time indulging in frozen desserts at this park. (210)

    2024 review Today is a beautiful hot day for the beach and…read morewe arrived comfortably around 11am and parking was slowly filling up on the closer lots. $5/hour or $40 all day, there is parking police patrolling when we arrived. We chose to park on the west end by the boat marinas and it's a close walk to the white sand beach and lighthouse pier. Few more minutes to walk to the info hub, food truck and washrooms make it pretty easy anywhere on beach. The washrooms are also next to two simple playgrounds and splash pads. Nothing fancy but good place to rinse off the kids before getting back into the car. The sand is freshly groomed and very soft. Minor pebbles, debris that the kids could walk bare feet on. There was lots of space to play and set up camp, not as busy as expected especially arriving this late in the morning. In my honest opinion, while sitting on the towel ground, I could smell an odd aroma. It's probably an algae smell in the water and sands lingering around. I preferred sitting higher up from the wet sand and trenches the kids were digging up to get more airflow. No one else seemed to mind but when the gentle breeze wasn't blowing there was a weird smell. Feedback from my partner said the water is nice but as you go out further, there was some algae pockets in the lake sand making it kinda gross and slimy. Important to check by laws about what you can or cannot bring to the beach. There is frequent beach police patrolling the sands. Today's water quality levels online and on the beach showed it to be really low. Always check beach water quality before leaving as some have been in the red this summer. All in all, a decent place to go for a nice sandy beach. Kites, frisbee, water blow up toys, sand castles and kayaks in the water, this place is pretty chill to hang out at. The kids are having fun today and want to come back.

    Came here to watch the solar eclipse 2024 but it was cloudy. Nice and clean beach. Lots of parking…read more Friendly people.

A nice walk on the pier out to the lighthouse though an awful lot of small flying insects. Of course, the lighthouse is accessible from here too. These two lighthouses protect Sodus Bay, the largest natural harbor on Lake Ontario. This light was first established in 1858, the new lighthouse was replaced in 1938 with this 51 foot tall structure. The view over Lake Ontario is fabulous, especially this early in the morning. At 7:00 am, I had the park to myself. Highly recommend. [Review 1531 of 2024 - 447 in New York - 22554 overall]

There is swimming when lifeguards are on duty. You feel like you're at the ocean when sitting on a Lake Ontario beach. The lighthouse view is stunning. There are bathrooms, a food stand, and a playground area. There is also a covered space with picnic tables. It's a perfect spot for a family. Dogs are allowed on a leash so we will be able to bring out pooch! There is plenty of parking. The houses along the street to the beach are adorable! There's a quaint little village with a few restaurants and shops. We will be back this summer!
