The water is quite shallow for a good stretch of the beach which makes the water slightly warm to swim in. A refreshing beach to go to that is definitely worth the drive from Ottawa. Also, I heard the sunset is beautiful at this location since it faces west. There is also tons of free parking along the main street leading up to the beach.

Other than porta potties but in summer it's a nice place to go and think/reflect/count blessings And there are a lot of produce stands around here. Bring a picnic! I'm just... A beach person. So... I appreciate this space.

The biggest plus of this site is that its close to Ottawa and it has a really nice and roomy beach…read more You can rent Canoe or kayak for a very reasonable price or just enjoy the watet BUT we were there during the weekend and there was no lifeguard. Also people with kayaks or sup boards frequently entered the bordered swim area. As for camping, site size are great but there are extreamly crowded which creates a lot of car traffic and it was extreamly noisy. There were load noises after 11pm felt like I was camping in my back yard. We had a good experience (the kids had a good time) but I dont think I will return as a camper.

Very well kept camp ground, close to local amenities. Quiet…read moreLarge Grassy sites for the Most part

What a beautiful place! Cedar Cove Resort is open year-round, offers boat & cottage/trailer…read morerentals, maintains a sandy family beach, has a marina with a gas bar and a brand-new store/reception building with a great restaurant/bar and an outdoor pool! They even have a new chip-truck called the Fireside Grill that makes a pretty decent version of poutine with real cheese curds! The lakeside cottages are well maintained and have all of the amenities that allow you to kick back, relax and enjoy Canadian nature at it's finest! (enclosed fire-pit, barbecue, fully furnished cottage and deck area, screened windows and oscillating fan, fireplace, full-size refrigerator and more!) This place is family owned and you can definitely feel it in the comfortable atmosphere and care they put in to maintaining the property. The only addition I would love to see would be a full-service fish cleaning shack with running water and waste disposal. White lake is a magical place and Cedar Cove is the perfect way to explore it - Highly recommended! TIP - The Canada Day fireworks show (worth $4000) from the beach area is truly spectacular! A good, low-key alternative to Parliament Hill.

My family has been visiting this resort for 8 years, it was a friendly and reasonable place. It was…read morenot maintained very well, but friendly staff. We always rent their boat and fish there. I took another visit this year, everything totally changed. Friendliness is gone. I know they had a fire, not sure since then changed their management style, or they just want tons of money in short time. The moment I arrived, signs reminding you to register is everywhere. We have 2 senior 1 five year old, 2 adults, only myself can operate a boat. And the boat can only take 4 people. We were asked rudely that where the fifth people going to stay. I said just stay in the shore. Again, rudely told that the 5th people can't stay in their property if not renting a boat. Even though I told them I drive 100 KM to get here, they still say no. Maybe they just want us to rent two boats, even though we can only use one. During the conversation, an employee points to me to their manager, couple of feet from me, to watch out that this guy might take a free park. The receptionist always refer me to her friends as this guy right in front of me. Very rude. Not sure why they always refer people as this guy or that guy. The new building doesn't add any new value for the sake of visitors but for the ease of administration and collecting money. The pool, the facilities are still old and needs tons of maintenance. Every staff dresses him/her as a cowboy, just a rude one. I feel that they are not there to serve you, but to make sure all money being collected. Feels like they blend the New York management style and cow boy style. Will never be there again.

This place is a kind of known hidden gen near Ottawa/Kanata. This park, which is open 24/7 365 days…read morehas a 2.5 km loop that has access to a small beach. The park offers some highlights year-round. In the summer you can walk about 200-300 m from the parking to a beach that is never crowded do some fishing/sunbathing/swimming. In autumn walk the small loop to see the change of colours but clearly, the best time is winter. In winter go to the beach and watch the wonderful ice structures, you will feel like you are in a frozen movie. On one side the frozen river seems to stretch all the way to Gatineau. people often drive on it with a snowmobile or XC skis. On the other side frozen waterfalls and ice castles for kids to play (very carefully with). The only downside is that the parking lot is closed during winter and you have to park near the side of the road. Be careful that your care doesn't slip to the ditch (happened to me once, luckily some good Canadians helped and we could go on with our hike). P.S this is a dog-friendly trail

I know I gave it a low review, this doesn't mean that the place is beautiful. There is a very nice…read morebeach there, you can kayak, fish and swim. There is a short (very short) trail there for stretching your bones and you can also use your pass to go to Sharbot lake (the nearby park) BUT and this is why I ranked it very low: The main purpose of this park is as a campground and here it fails completely. The plots are very close to one another so if you have neighbors you feel like their tent is pitched touching yours. During holidays its a nightmare. They allow dogs which is amazing (I have one) but be prepared to listen to several barks during the night (since there is no privacy). The worst thing is that you go camping to feel nature...well in this campground there is a highway right outside the campgrounds so all during the night we heard trucks and cars...fun.

Restaurant was closed in sunday morning for some reason, good for cyclists a small trail is nearby, cycle stands are also available, there was something there named "repair cafe" if inky someone could tell me what it was.

Really great spot. I've always loved this place…read more Friends told me AFTER my arrival to be careful re the dog by-law. We stayed in the shade, on the paths and my pup was welcome on the patio for Baja's. (Great burger and beer, BTW) It was a beautiful day and sunbathers lined the beach. Watercraft, sailboats, paragliding, paddlers. Busy but serene. I loved it. And there were many other dogs. Luck of the draw I guess if you take that chance. I'll go back and explore all of it sans pup but we loved our time here.
