The rugged landscape was created 10,000 years ago when the last Ice Age swept over the area exposing the underlying bedrock and deeply marking the ancient granite. Over time, the rock was scoured clean by the retreating glaciers. Wind, waves and harsh weather continued to smooth the rough edges of the terrain, as hardy plants took root in the granite cracks and crevices breaking the top layer of rock into a shallow covering of soil. The park's forests and waterways provide habitat for many species of wildlife including beaver, white-tailed deer, black bear, raccoons and chipmunks. Its wetlands are home to a variety of amphibians and reptiles.
Many campsites provide a view of the beach and most are situated in a white pine and poplar forest.
Flush and vault toilets are located throughout the camping area. Each campsite has a fireplace, grill and picnic table. The park is an excellent base for exploring and fishing the waters of Georgian Bay. Explore by canoe the many small inlets and tiny beaches of the park's shoreline, or venture further by motorboat or sailboat to the open waters of Georgian Bay. Swimmers will enjoy the park's 77-metre sand beach.
