Sandbar Lake Provincial Park

Sandbar Lake Provincial Park extends across 8,053 hectares of transitional forest between Great Lakes-St. Lawrence and Boreal forest regions, featuring sandy beaches and glacial formations.

The park expanded from its initial 3,157 hectares in 1970 through multiple land additions, reaching its current size through amendments completed in 2003.

The lands within Sandbar Lake Provincial Park hold traditional significance for six First Nations communities who used them for hunting, fishing, and gathering activities.

The park opens from mid-May to late September, providing camping facilities with flush toilets, showers, laundry stations, and access points to Sandbar Lake and Paguchi Lake.

Archaeological excavations within the park boundaries have revealed human settlements dating back to the Laurel and Blackduck periods of indigenous history.
