This park is deemed by many as one of nicest parks in the Province of Ontario. Charleston Lake Provincial Park lies on the shores of a breathtaking lake, full of islands, coves, reefs, and some of the clearest water in Ontario. Charleston Lake is over 14 km long and over 6 km wide, and is great spot for swimming and padding around, while exploring the 100+ islands. You will notice a rocky, forested landscape that has many great hiking trails winding throughout the park. The trails range from short, interpretive routes, to a 10-km path through meadows, rock barrens, and rock ridges. Blue Mountain is in Charleston Lake Provincial park, and has the highest peak in the county. When you get to the top of the Blue Mountain Trail, make sure to take a break and enjoy the picturesque views. On a clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of the Adirondack Mountains in New York State.
You can also enjoy winter activities in this park. Please contact the park for more details.
