Bonnechere Provincial Park is a recreational park on Round Lake near Killaloe, shaped by Ottawa Valley history, a sandy beach, family camping, trails, and rustic cabin stays. Ontario Parks lists the park at 162 hectares, established in 1967.
This is a compact park with a softer, heritage-focused feel. It is well suited to visitors who want swimming, camping, easy walking, interpretive stops, and a base for a slower Ottawa Valley trip rather than a large wilderness itinerary.
Ontario Parks highlights the park's Ottawa Valley history, sandy beach on Round Lake, McNaughton Trail with the Foot Prints in Time interpretive experience, the Historic Depot with log ranger cabins, rustic cabins for rent, and the Walks of the Little Bonnechere trail guide.
That gives Bonnechere a clear mix of recreation and storytelling. Families can plan around beach time and camping, while curious visitors can spend time with the park's historic buildings, interpretive trail features, and local landscape context.
Plan around car camping, rustic cabin stays, swimming, beach time, paddling, boating where permitted, fishing, hiking, McNaughton Trail, the Historic Depot, interpretive learning, picnics, and relaxed Round Lake days.
Because the park is small and seasonal, reservations, cabin availability, beach conditions, and facility hours can have an outsized effect on the visit.
Ontario Parks lists Bonnechere day use, camping, and roofed accommodation from May 8 to October 18, 2026. Confirm campsite and cabin reservations, alerts, beach and water conditions, trail access, facility hours, program availability, and park rules through the official Ontario Parks source before travelling.
