Beaches

One of the great things about life in North Bay is that it's situated right between Lake Nipissing and Trout Lake, and that means lots of sandy beaches. There are a total of 43 beach access areas in North Bay! Three of these beaches are supervised. Supervised beaches are Shabogesic Beach on Lake Nipissing at the Waterfront, the Birchaven Cove and Olmsted Beach on Trout Lake.

So make sure you bring your bathing suit and sunscreen when you visit us. For more information about local beaches please contact the Arts, Culture and Recreation department at (705)474-0626 ext. 2329 or 2335.
