Aaron Provincial Park

Aaron Provincial Park is a provincial park in Kenora District featuring 116 hectares of woodland surrounding Thunder Lake. The park includes two sandy beaches along the lake's eastern shoreline and protected natural habitat.

The park was established in 1958 and takes its name from John T. Aaron, who maintained a homestead on the site. This creation marked the beginning of formal protection for this lakeside landscape.

The park represents Ontario's commitment to preserving natural spaces while providing recreational opportunities for both local residents and travelers crossing Canada.

The park is located 26 kilometers east of Dryden and is open from May through September. Visitors will find designated swimming, canoeing, and fishing areas within the grounds.

Thunder Lake's waters come from ancient glaciers that covered Ontario during the last ice age, and its shallow depth makes it ideal for water sports. This glacial origin gives the lake distinctive characteristics that visitors often find remarkable.
