Small beach off the beaten path…read more Minet's Point Park is a quiet beach in Barrie situated south of Centennial Park across the Kempenfelt Bay. We chose to come here for our annual beach trip as the other beach is always packed with festivities and crowds in summer. In contrast, this beach was quiet this past weekend with a good amount of beach space. There are a few picnic tables and a large kids playground with a few features similar to those at the bigger park. No BBQ is permitted. The beach is unsupervised but there is a buoyed area. Windsurfers were launching nearby while ducks roamed about. The only downside is the expensive parking at $15 hourly and $60 max for the day. Street parking is by permit only. Skip it or hit it? For a quieter beach day, this is a decent pick in Barrie.

Alongside the kids swimming area, marked with buoys, there is a boat launch used by kayakers and made it fun to watch as you laze around the waterfront. The parking lot is right there, in direct view of the beach which is outstanding. A treed field adjoins the parking lot so nature is right there to greet you as you step out of your vehicle and take in the greenery. There is even a small picnic area that can accommodate the party grillers in the crowd, the ones that make everyone jealous with their delicious smelling griddles. As if that weren't enough to make this spot super family friendly, there is a young kids play structure directly behind the beach to top it off. There are some stones mixed in with the sand here, and some can't handle that so if it bothers you, then bring crocks or something to wear into the water. The swimming was good here with clean water and just a few waves that day from power boats going by. The bathroom is located further away near the park entrance, and the mens side at least was filthy and stank. You should avoid going in unless you have to. The view is nice looking at the north side of Barrie, with a side view of the end of Kempenfelt Bay, the harbour front downtown area with all the action happening. Nice view!

Early 6:30 am carpooling my friend @xowendyli at Vaughan Mills for a smooth 45 minutes drive to Lawrence Park, just north edge of Barrie on the coast of Little Lake. We ordered dollar ice coffees at McDonald's before setting sail on our new adventure. Her parents prepared plenty of food - from sausage and egg sandwiches for breakfast to Angus rib steak and chicken drumsticks for the grill with fruits, salad, ramen and rice. Our boat driver (her dad) drove to the best fishing spots - he got his first after 5 minutes of arriving. I've never imagined myself catching fish for the first time could be nerve-racking, flowing with excitement and feeling at peace with nature all at once. My first try was a tiny one, and as my skill improved over time, I seized a handful of palm-sized sunfish, also known as pumpkinseed fish. Another friend came in the afternoon complaining the two-hour traffic was horrendous. By day end, we had fun and got to keep our prize.

So I would suggest bringing water shoes They have a lifeguard that was out and watching and they have the shallow area and a deeper area sectioned off The beach is right behind the bike path so you can bike or go for a walk on the trail if you wanted to Parking is $10 an hour which I do feel is a bit extreme and when I arrived the parking attendant was giving out tickets so they do monitor whether or not you are paying for your parking Overall it's okay but for me I absolutely hate rocks in the water that was very uncomfortable for me even if I had shoes I would still feel all the pebbles under my feet and combined with the overpriced parking I would not go back

It's down a bit of a hill from the road, and you'll see a parking lot on the right which is where you park. While you can continue to drive down to the beach, there is no parking and you would be blocking emergency vehicles in the event of a problem. The bathrooms are pretty good here and there were lots of people on that warm and windy day in August. This is a great spot to keep in mind when in Barrie as it's close to downtown.

This is intended to be a do-it-yourself experience…read more If you know how to ice fish I am sure you'll have a great time. If you don't know how, you may still have a good time depending on your attitude towards not catching any fish. I had an interesting afternoon trying something I had never done before. The staff where friendly enough and as helpful as they could be expected to be, in the middle of a frozen lake. I would certainly consider returning with friends, perhaps even friends that know how to ice fish.

WORST ice fishing experience i've ever had. Go to Lucky Sons next time. Their employees don't care…read moreand it was so unorganized. We e-mailed them many times because we had a Groupon with them, no answer. We finally reached them by phone and booked an evening because mornings were not available. We got there at 5 and they didn't have any rods left... 2 of our 4 person party brought their own. No rods, for ice fishing.... seriously? They set us up in teepees, NOT the cabins on website they promised. We paid online through groupon, but guess what, we were charged $25 as an extra sir-charge for no reason the second we got there... They also didn't let us know we needed chairs, so they supplied us with tiny three seaters that are a foot off the ground. Terribly uncomfortable, they couldn't even give us a lawn chair. They said we got lucky, once the chairs were gone, no more chairs. WHAT? So far there was NO MORE rods and a limited number of chairs too. Sounds organized. They promised us to re-open the iced holes and spoon out the ice. OOOPs no more spoons, and no one came for open the holes. We used the wood we HAD TO BUY to smash open the holes and our hands to fish out the ice. We froze because there was no strings to close the teepee tent and it was -17c out. We left the second their employee snowmobiled by at 6:30 and threw, yes THREW, lights threw our tee pee door and drove off without asking us how our horrible evening went. We left very disappointed.
