Grundy Lake Provincial Park, Natural environment provincial park in Parry Sound District, Canada.
Grundy Lake Provincial Park is a provincial park covering about 3,600 hectares of mixed forest with multiple lakes featuring sandy beaches and exposed granite formations. The terrain consists of interconnected water bodies surrounded by wooded shores and rocky outcrops.
The land sits on ancient rock formations over 1 billion years old that were sculpted by glaciers roughly 14,000 years ago. The park was officially established in 1959 to preserve this landscape.
The waterways through Gurd Lake and Pakeshkag Lake follow routes that Indigenous peoples and fur traders once traveled. Visitors walking or paddling these same paths today connect directly with how people moved through this landscape for centuries.
The park operates full-service camping facilities with showers, washrooms, and laundry from May through October. Plan visits during warmer months for fuller amenities, or in shoulder seasons for a quieter experience.
Red Maple Beach has a natural water slide formed by algae-covered stone that creates a smooth surface for sliding into the lake. This geological quirk remains one of the park's lesser-known features that visitors stumble upon by chance.
