Mikisew Provincial Park is a recreational park in South River on Eagle Lake, with seasonal camping, day use, group camping, sandy beaches, paddling, hiking, sports, and dog-friendly facilities. Ontario Parks lists the park at 130.71 hectares, established in 1964.
The park works well for families and mixed groups because the official activity mix is broad without being complicated. Campers can choose between mature maple forest and open red pine settings, then build days around the water, trails, and play spaces.
Ontario Parks highlights three shallow sandy beaches, boating and paddling around small islands on Eagle Lake, hiking through hardwood forest past ponds and wetlands, a leash-free dog park and beach, and sports such as disc golf, volleyball, basketball, and horseshoes.
That makes Mikisew a strong fit for visitors who want a social camping trip. It has enough structured activities for families and groups, while still keeping the centre of the visit on lake time, trails, and campsites.
Dog owners should also check the current posted rules for the off-leash park and beach before arrival.
Plan around car camping, group camping, swimming, beaches, canoeing, kayaking, boating, fishing, hiking, the leash-free dog park and dog beach, disc golf, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, picnics, and Eagle Lake photography.
Ontario Parks lists Mikisew day use and camping from May 8 to October 13, 2026.
