Not sure why there are so many reviews pertaining to the Canoe Lake (Portage) store.

As for the lake itself, it's awesome. Can get crowded with all sorts of pleasure craft but it provides a great access point to the park interior. Large safe parking lot, car access to the lake and a parks office just meters away from the water.

An enormous place to walk your dog and a great way to test their recall. Could've easily spent an entire day at this park with the countless areas to explore. Easily worth the drive from out of town.

Tried the BBQ Bacon burger with a side of tater tots and it was superb. But with that being said, unless you're a fan of the Wahlburg family or the TV series, there are other burger joints nearby which are just as good but cheaper.

A perfect place to bring your dog on a hot day. Having a separate small/large dog area is great but the fence which separates the area doesn't extend all the way. Being a few minutes away from street parking is a bonus but make sure you arrive early.

A spacious dog park with a water fountain for humans and dogs. However, it is not fenced in. If your dog/puppy is easily distracted, beware that there can be lots of people using the park and that there's a GO train track nearby.
