Ivanhoe Lake Provincial Park is a natural environment park near Foleyet, between Chapleau and Timmins, with seasonal day use, camping, group camping, a sandy beach, fishing, canoeing, and hiking. Ontario Parks lists the park at 7,705 hectares, established in 1957.
The park is especially appealing for families because Ontario Parks highlights a long curving lip of sandy beach, warm shallow water, and a playground.
Those family amenities make Ivanhoe Lake a practical northern stop when the goal is low-key swimming, campsite time, and easy lake access.
Ivanhoe Lake works well for family holidays, fishing trips, and canoe outings. Ontario Parks notes that many campsites offer spectacular lake views, which makes campsite choice an important part of the experience.
The park also has a strong landform story. Ontario Parks says hiking trails lead through ancient glacial landscapes with kettle lakes and eskers, giving visitors a reason to explore beyond the beach. Seasonal campsite leasing is also listed on the official page.
Plan around car camping, group camping, lake-view campsites, swimming, warm shallow beach time, playground visits, fishing, canoeing, hiking, kettle lake and esker scenery, seasonal campsite planning, and northern Ontario road trips.
Ontario Parks lists Ivanhoe Lake day use and camping from May 15 to September 20, 2026, with a delayed opening alert noted on the official page. Confirm campsite and group camping reservations, alert details, beach and water conditions, fishing rules, hiking conditions, facility hours, and park rules through the official Ontario Parks source before travelling.
