Over the years, the park has grown to become one of the best maintained parks in the province, offering top-class amenities and an easily accessible outdoor experience.

This was where the women and children waited for their men to return home from canoe treks. It's also in the heart of 18th century fur trading country. The trading post known as Fort Finlay was built near the present day park site by Francois LeBlanc and James Finlay. 1906 it became farm land for homesteaders.
