This park has so much to offer those looking for fun outdoor adventures! The Laurel Creek Reservoir is a beautiful body of water perfect for swimming or relaxing on the large sandy beach. Bring your canoe for a quiet paddle around the lake, or rent one from the Gatehouse. This park also has two playgrounds, a baseball diamond, and plenty of space for your family to enjoy outdoor games and picnics. Explore the park while hiking or cycling throughout the 4.5 kilometre nature trails.
Pack your camping gear, because Laurel Creek is a great place to camp! Choose to set up your tent on a radio free, unserviced site, or drive your RV or trailer to a serviced site and enjoy sewer and water hook-ups. Either way, all sites are wooded to offer privacy, and some even have a lakeside view. Don't forget to pack your fishing pole and tacklebox so you can try to catch some carp!
