Lake St. Peter Provincial Park

Lake St. Peter Provincial Park is a nature preserve in Hastings Highlands featuring sandy beaches, walking trails, and forested areas that line the lake's edge. The terrain varies from open water-side sections to wooded interior regions, creating diverse environments for outdoor exploration.

The area was established in 1971 by Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry as a recreational destination. This founding created a protected space for visitors to explore while preserving the natural environment.

The park serves as a gathering place where visitors engage in time-honored outdoor activities like paddling and fishing that define the Canadian wilderness experience. The network of campsites reflects how this location has become central to how people spend time in nature across the region.

The park can be reached via Highway 127 and is most accessible from May through October. A store near the entrance provides basic supplies for both day visitors and those staying overnight.

Overnight campers receive free day access to both Algonquin and Silent Lake Provincial Parks, subject to availability. This often-overlooked benefit extends the reach of your visit across multiple protected areas.
