Sparrow Lake Camp is situated on the southernmost tip of the majestic Canadian Shield.  The site is known to have been a campground for bands of the Huron people prior to the European intrusion.  It is considered probable that Samuel de Champlain, the first European to explore Huronia, spent a night on this site in the 17th Century.In 1892, what would become the west side of the current property was sold by pioneer Captain Thomas Stanton to Toronto's renowned Massey family to act as their summer resort.  The resort sported the main lodge, dining room, and cottages and was only accessible by train and steamer. From the onset, the Masseys used the site as a summer retreat for the Young Men's Bible League of the Central Methodist Church. Today, the property is a thriving summer camp that also offers overnight tent stays with stunning lake views.

The best camping in Indian Point Provincial Park, ON guide

Overview

About

Indian Point Provincial Park is a hidden gem where tranquility and nature's beauty offer a peaceful retreat. With no operating campgrounds, the park is a haven for day-trippers seeking solitude amid the wilderness. Visitors can immerse themselves in activities like hiking, bird watching, and photography, capturing the essence of this untouched natural landscape.

When to go

The best time to visit Indian Point Provincial Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when the weather is most favourable for outdoor activities. Winter visits can be challenging due to snow and limited access, making it less ideal for those unprepared for cold-weather adventures.

Know before you go

  • Check for fire bans before planning your visit, as they can affect your ability to cook and stay warm.
  • Be prepared for a 'boil water advisory' by bringing purification methods for drinking water.
  • Remember, this is a non-operating park, so facilities are limited; plan accordingly.
  • Ensure you have a map and are aware of the park's boundaries to respect the protected area.
  • For any updates on park conditions, visit the official Ontario Parks website before your trip.
