Sharing the Awenda Story

Awenda Provincial Park is located on Georgian Bay, 20 minutes northwest of Penetanguishene, Ontario.  With great diversity in both terrain and natural ecosystems, Awenda visitors will be amazed at the different landscapes they will experience.

Awenda is classed as a Natural Environment Park and features 333 campsites for seasonal camping, 33 km of trails, a kettle lake called Kettle’s Lake, four beaches, and great Discovery Department programming during the summer months.
