Windy Lake Provincial Park
A lakeside provincial park northwest of Sudbury with clear water and soft sand, good for swimming, paddling and camping.
Windy Lake Provincial Park lies about 50 km northwest of downtown, beside Highway 144 near Onaping. The lake has clear water, gentle sandy beaches, picnic areas and campgrounds. You can swim, canoe and fish, and there are short trails nearby. It is on the same route as the A.Y. Jackson Lookout, so it works well as a half-day or full-day lake outing. It is open in summer. You need an Ontario Parks day pass, and weekend campsites should be booked in advance.
