Benefits of Recreation:
Any activity that takes your mind,
body and soul out of a required work
mode, and allows you to feel a sense
of satisfaction, peace and pleasure
can be a recreational experience.
While encouraging activity that is
socially beneficial, economically
sound and fosters a sense of
community, the Parks and Recreation
Department works diligently to
improve your recreational experience
how you see fit.
Working under the guidance of
the
Parks
Recreation and Trails Advisory
Committee
the design of this website will allow you to
access many vantage points, natural
assets, programs, and services that
are available in all three hamlets
of the Township of Lake of Bays, and
within the defined boundaries,
policies and bylaws set out for your
safety and the preservation of our
assets, we encourage you to create your
own version of a recreational
experience, to be enjoyed by
yourself, or whomever you choose.
For further information please
review our
Parks Master Plan
(110pgs/795KB).
Perhaps it is a nature walk along
our beautiful Oxtongue Rapids, or a
quiet afternoon painting the scenery
at Solitaire Lake we encourage our
residents to explore, enrich and
enjoy your experience.
By clicking on many of our access
points, identified on our maps in
the web site, you will learn about
assets, you may not know about, or
perhaps have not visited in years,
decades. Check out Paint Lake
Walking Trail Grassmere Park,
or take your dog for a nature walk
along Blue Lake.
Even now, as you sit at your
computer, mouse in hand, you are
experiencing recreation. Your mind
may be wandering ahead to the
experience you may enjoy, or what
you will bring on your trip. Your
half way there, and we cannot
encourage you enough to begin your
journey on our web site to find what
you are looking for.
Welcome to the Lake of Bays, and
welcome to your recreational
experience. May your mind think
freely as you plan your next
adventure.
