Parc d'Oka
Parc d'Oka Review
Surrounded by low hills, this provincially operated park has a lake fringed by a sandy beach with picnic areas and hiking and biking trails. This is a good place for kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and, in winter, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. There are nearly 900 campsites here, and the park's office rents equipment, including bicycles, cross-country skis, snowshoes, canoes, and kayaks. Be aware, as you walk down the beach: the strip at the far eastern end has, by popular consensus, been deemed "clothing optional," or in effect, "clothing nonexistent."
