More information on fishing.

Canoeing
Awenda's quiet, scenic Kettle's Lake provides an excellent location for canoe exploration on its usually calm flat waters.

Wildlife Viewing
White-tailed deer are plentiful in the park along with small mammals such as porcupine, raccoon and squirrels. In terms of reptiles and amphibians, Awenda's rich diversity of 31 species ranks second throughout Canada. Close to 200 different species of birds have been observed in the park.

Boating
Boating enthusiasts will find plenty of room to investigate Georgian Bay. Because of its size and exposed area, Georgian Bay winds can be unpredictable and quick to rise, so use appropriate caution. The closest boat launch facilities are in Penetanguishene. Outboard motors are not allowed on Kettle's Lake.

Swimming
Awenda features several beautiful and natural beaches on the Georgian Bay shoreline. The most protected and sandiest beach area is at Methodist Point Bay (Third Beach).

Pet Beach
Awenda has designated a stretch of its scenic Georgian Bay shoreline as a Pet Beach. This is the only public beach in the park where pets are permitted. However they still must be kept on a two metre leash and it is the owner's responsibility to clean up after them.

Winter Activities
In winter, Awenda is not open for camping, but its trails and forests are available as a backcountry style experience for the more adventuresome ski and snowshoe enthusiast. Please note that trails are no longer groomed or trackset. All trails begin at the Trail Centre, a heated log cabin. Snowshoeing is popular through the park’s many hectares of open bush, however there are no designated snowshoe trails. Dogs are not permitted on winter trails.
