Fishing
Sportfishing for bass is good and the season starts on the last Saturday of June each year.
Hiking
You can appreciate some of the natural and historic points of interest on our 2.8 km trail, which winds its way through a variety of habitats. Along the way uncover the park’s history with the Rowe Homestead, a working farm for more than 100 years, the effects of glaciers from 10,000 years ago and the importance of the next generation of flora and fauna. You will also find that the first half kilometre of trail, which begins at our beach parking lot, has been paved making it accessible for everyone.
Swimming
Shallow, clear water makes Bass Lake perfect for swimming.
Winter Activities
Bass Lake Provincial Park offers a small program for outdoor winter enthusiasts. From our fall closing date (Tuesday after Thanksgiving) through to our spring operating season in May, visitors can access the park by walking in. Enjoy our 4 km ungroomed trail network which, along with all Park roads, are available in winter for snowshoeing, cross country skiing, hiking or (on-leash) dog walking.
