Jerry Lawrence Park

Trail Summary

Jerry Lawrence (formerly Lewis Lake) Provincial Park is a great nature retreat without going out of the way. Its small trail system is well maintained and connects to the Saint Margaret’s Bay trail system. The centerpieces of the park are Lewis Lake and Round Lake, small lakes situated on either side of the park. These lakes are not only completely wheelchair accessible, all facilities are as well. Facilities include public fishing piers, drive-in picnic areas, benches and washrooms. Round lake is stocked with fish several times per season, and makes for a great family fishing outing.

You can take the trail system and connect on to the Saint Margaret’s Bay trail system, ideal for a longer bike trip or walk, and is ideal for cross country skiing in winter (be aware of ATV’s). Be aware that the park is closed, and un-maintained in winter. You can also stick to the shorter park trails which line the lakes. Take note that swimming is not allowed in the fishing areas of the lakes.

This accommodating park is for everyone including those with disabilities. Be sure to bring your fishing rod and you can have a great day in this completely accessible “nature resort”.
