Great place to hang out for the day. They have charcoal bbq's available for picnics. There is a hidden smimming hole that has a really great area for kids to swim and for adults. You can also rent life jackets there. It is fantastic! Certainly a favourite place to go when I was growing up! There is also access to Belwood lake for all the boaters and anglers in the house!

Located just through the set of lights at Hwy six on the Alma road (Hwy 17) Entrance is marked and the path goes both right and left - in the winter the snow is magical, in the summer the birds are loud and in the spring the MUD is DEEP!

Food Scene
Go to the bar downstairs (to your right) for "pub" food and cocktails. The prices for food are more reasonable but if you are looking to have an exquisite meal stay on the main floor when you walk in. They also have a great wine selection.
