Terrain - Towering stands of White and Red Pine on the shores of Lake Temagami
Staff - Young and friendly with a good sense of humour
Bathrooms - Spotless with no bugs or spiders . They smelled good and they had flush toilets. Exceptionally clean.
Showers - There are showers at each of the 2 comfort stations.
Beach - There are 2 beaches almost right beside each other. Both beaches are tiny. They are sandy and clean with a bench to sit on, but they are
small and have no picnic area. Not only are the sandy part of the beaches small, but the roped in area of the water is tiny too. It only goes
out about 5 to 7 feet at most.
Out Door Water Faucets - Clean, drinkable water but the faucets are not all located exactly as shown on the map.
Hiking Trails - There are no hiking trails in this park. (However, there is a popular hiking trail, Caribou Mountain lookout and fire tower, off of Hwy
11. Take O’Connor drive off of Hwy 11 at the historic train station, cross the tracks and continue uphill on the paved road to the rightf
for 1 kilometer or so until you see a sign for the Tower. Turn right and take this road to the parking lot. The walk to the tower is on a
loose gravel uphill path but is an easy walk).
Pet Amenities - The pet swimming area is tiny and it is located much too far away from the campsites. You have to drive to get there or go on a
long walk.
