Beach and Boat Launch

Nice town dock, w/ boat launch into Lake Couchiching. Very clear water and a great park and beach for swimming. In the winter the place teaming with waterfowl. Around a hundred swans are not uncommon. Also bald eagles. There is also a fenced in dog park there and plenty of open space for family games or walks.

Boat launch (free) for our section of the river. Gets you on the Green, Black and Severn Rivers. Launch up to a 30ft boat there. Note it is a gravel launch and Ramara Township made it a no parking zone for those without a permit.
