Boating
Rent a boat and take in some sun! Faloma Beach Marina and Falcon Lake Marina rent watercraft all summer long.

We offer complimentary canoes to our guests. Go for a quiet paddle and watch the local wildlife along the shores of Falcon Lake. Better still, take a picnic hamper along and paddle over to Picnic Island for a day of barbecuing in the fire pits and swimming off the rocks.
Fishing
Falcon provides good fishing in both winter and summer. The big ones are down there - the fun is getting them out. Master Angler fish are regularly caught in Falcon Lake.
Camp Lake and High Lake are both accessible from Falcon and provide excellent fishing for the more serious angler. Fishing licenses are available at the marinas, Shell Station, and Park Office.

In the fall and breaking up in the spring is quite fascinating to watch and listen to. The trees are magnificent as they undergo their annual transformations.

Fun to watch; more fun to do ... Snowboarders love our Terrain Park. Lovingly groomed to provide just the right level of challenge and excitement.
Four reasons to visit the ‘Trails’
Fall
This is our most glorious time. Warm days and cool nights. Watch the changing colours. Listen to the ice form on a quiet lake beneath the northern lights. See the gathering of the loons as they prepare to migrate.
Winter
Crisp, white, crunchy snow under foot. Hot chocolate and warm fires. Ski, snowshoe or just take a break.
Spring
Our best kept secret — the sap is running, the eagles are returning. Spend a quiet evening on the dock listening to the ice break up for another year.
Summer
Wildflowers and moss carpet the forest floor. Loon songs and nature trails. Summer at the lake.
