First stop: the Victorian village of Knowlton! You’ll find everything you need for a locally inspired picnic. Then it’s on to Douglass Beach, featuring the perfect combo of breathtaking views, soft sand, and mature trees.

Use the access point to launch paddle boards, kayaks, and canoes into the water. Want to explore the lake from your motorized boat? Head to the Knowlton Marina or the Domaine des érables campground for an access ramp.

There is paid parking available at Douglass Beach and Tiffany Park. If you want to spend the night in your van, you’ll need to use the lot at Argyll or Lions Park.
