Biking
Biking is available on park roads.
Birding
Fushimi Lake lies within the vast Boreal Forest region. This is often called the songbird nursery, as hundreds of bird species nest here each summer. Warblers are the most colourful and have the prettiest songs, but many other birds can be heard and seen, including woodpeckers, ducks, finches and flycatchers, as well as fishing birds like Great Blue Herons, Ospreys and Bald Eagles.
Boating
The boat launch is located near the campground. After launching, boats can be loaded at the dock, and beached on our sandy shore overnight.
Canoeing
There are excellent canoeing opportunities on Fushimi Lake. The lake has many bays and coves and the sections of the Valentine River, at either end of the lake, are also worth exploring. Keep an eye out for wildlife.
Discovery Program
Join Discovery staff at an Exploration Station during the months of July & August. Bring along your Discovery Activity Book (or pick one up at the Exploration Station), and use the equipment and materials provided to explore the park, observe plants and animals, and discover the wonders of nature. Be sure to share your observations with park staff and to take the Discovery Ranger Pledge! For more information keep an eye out for weekly calendar of events posted throughout the park.
Fishing
Fish for Walleye, Northern Pike, Lake Whitefish and Yellow Perch in Fushimi Lake and Valentine River. You can then clean your catch at the fish cleaning hut next to the boat launch.
Hiking
Achilles Lake Trail - 1 km return (45 minutes) easy.
This trail leads to the shore of Achilles Lake, a small lake on the north side of the campground. The lake is a popular spot for watching sunsets. There is a canoe rental at the end of this trail so you can paddle and try your luck at catching Walleye and Northern Pike.
Fire Tower Trail 7 km return (2 hours) strenuous.
This trail takes you to one of the few original fire lookout towers left in Ontario. The Bannerman Fire Tower was erected in the 1930s and the ranger in charge of the tower, watched for smoke and lived in a cabin nearby with his family through the summer. Along the shores of Fushimi Lake there are a few great spots for lunch and a swim.
