Oakfield Provincial Park
366 Oakfield Park RdGreat place in the summer and fall for a walk or bike ride.
Great public beaches ; The 11km hiking trail is breath taking (takes a leisurely 4.5hrs to walk) and usually has very few people on the trail. Our favourite place to walk the dogs.
(ps: don't be too surprised by the nude beach about 1km from the parking lot , on the trail)
