Once you’ve driven to Ivanhoe Lake, you can dive right in. Warm, shallow waters hug the shore of a long, sandy beach. Whether you plan on dipping in your toes or jumping in, you’ll want to pack a swimsuit on your flight from Montréal to Timmins to enjoy this refreshing spot.
If you’d rather stay dry, choose to paddle through Ivanhoe’s smaller body of water, Saw Lake. You’ll find plenty of wildlife to photograph while paddling through these waters, from eagles soaring in the sky to moose grazing on the shoreline.
Find Ivanhoe Lake Provincial Park’s ice age history written in stone through its unique glacial geography. You’ll see plenty of kettle lakes and eskers that were formed by the movement and melting of glaciers.
