Jump from ocean saltwater at Ingonish Beach to Freshwater Lake with just a few steps! This welcoming day use area is packed with family-friendly activities. After a refreshing swim, enjoy the playground, tennis courts, soccer field and picnic area. Connect with nature on Freshwater Lake trail, popular with cyclists in the summer and perfect for snowshoeing in the winter.
A Mobi-Chair is available to reserve by phoning 902-224-2306 or emailing [email protected]. A Mobi-Mat allows for access across the sand at Freshwater Lake.
Intense wave action and tidal patterns shift sand and cobblestone along the shore of Ingonish Beach throughout the spring and summer. Plan for both and be aware of strong currents while enjoying water activities. Lifeguards are not on duty. Dogs on leash are permitted for walking.
Pit privies and temporary washroom facilities will be available in 2023.
