Six Mile Lake
Six Mile Lake
Six Mile Lake P.P. is located on 2024 Joe King's Rd, Port Severn, ON. The park is right near Highway 400 and is one of the numerous lakes that dot the area. We visited on the 31st of May, 2024.
History
History
The park was protected and developed in 1958, and was expanded in 2004.
The park is called Six Mile Lake because the lake was originally measured at around 6 miles in length. It's actually around 5 miles.

Visiting the Park
Visiting the Park
After passing the park sign, you'll see a split road and a park office. The road sways left (unless you turn right and go to Pine Campground), going toward the day-use area, with a dog beach, volleyball court, pavilion, lookout, and parking. If you continue you straight, you'll see the other campgrounds (Birch, Lakeview, Poplar, Oak, Maple, Cedar). The trails will be on the left.
Tips and Advice
Tips and Advice
While on the trail, turn left at the David Milne Trail and left again at the Marsh Trail. After this, find the Living Edge Trail and turn right. You will see everything in a route that is approximately 3 kilometres.
Book a site in Birch Campground - best location and they're electrical.
Bring your boating buddies! They'll enjoy it.
Bring a kayak or canoe onto the lake.

This park is one of the nicest in the Parry Sound/Central Ontario area. Very scenic waters and trails, and you can please the speedboatin' and "gone fishin'" crowd. I liked the park - 6/10.
