Couchiching Beach Park is the place to understand why Orillia draws summer visitors. The park runs along Lake Couchiching beside the port, with beaches, lawns, playgrounds, a boardwalk, and room to watch boats moving through the Trent-Severn Waterway.
It is simple rather than spectacular, but on a warm day it gives Orillia its best mood. Pair it with the downtown core or the Leacock Museum for an easy half-day walk.
