Kettle Lakes Provincial Park is a recreational park east of Timmins with glacial kettle lakes, seasonal camping, day use, roofed accommodation, beaches, trails, biking, and paddling. Ontario Parks lists the park at 1,260.79 hectares, established in 1957.
The park's identity comes from its landscape. Ontario Parks describes it as northern forest and clear lakes shaped by glaciers, with 22 deep, spring-fed kettle lakes.
Ontario Parks highlights 22 deep kettle lakes, great family camping, a comfortable cabin at the edge of a lake, 14 km of biking trails, 14 km of hiking trails, a Natural Heritage Education program, many lakes for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing, and four sandy beaches.
That range makes Kettle Lakes a strong northern family camping park. Visitors can stay close to beaches and campsites, use trails for biking and hiking, paddle calm lake water where conditions allow, and add programs or a cabin stay for a slightly easier trip.
Plan around car camping, group camping, cabin stays, swimming, beaches, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, biking, Natural Heritage Education programs, picnics, and northern forest photography.
Because activities are spread across multiple lakes and facilities, maps and current alerts should guide campsite and beach choices.
Ontario Parks lists Kettle Lakes day use, camping, and roofed accommodation from May 15 to October 13, 2026, with a delayed opening alert noted on the official page. Confirm reservations, cabin availability, alerts, beach and water conditions, trail access, program dates, facility hours, and park rules through the official Ontario Parks source before travelling.
