What activities are available at Esker Lakes Provincial Park near Timmins?

Esker Lakes Provincial Park is just under two hours west of Timmins, outside of Kirkland Lake. It’s a peaceful retreat within Canada’s boreal forest. This family-friendly park is also great for swimming, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking in one of 29 glacier-formed lakes. There are easy and moderate trails throughout the park, as well. Experienced hikers can try the four-hour trail that winds along Gourley Lake, Seahorse Lake, and Roach Lake. The trail ends at Trapper’s Cabin. Along with backcountry options, there are 103 campsites with showers and toilets on-site. While campsites rarely fill up, the park gets busy during its Annual Blueberry Festival in August.
