Temiskaming Shores

Temiskaming Shores offers various ways to combine days by the water, outdoor activities and regional history. At Haileybury Beach, activities include swimming, picnicking and relaxing; elsewhere, trails invite you to go for a walk or a bike ride. There are also geological exhibits, museums and golf courses. When planning your trip, you can consider which experiences you and your family would like to focus on.

Beaches and waterfront activities

Haileybury Beach is located in Camsell Park at 309 Broadway Street in Temiskaming Shores. The sandy beach is fully enclosed and features treated water. A large waterslide is a striking feature: it is 150 feet long. There is also a water fountain and a water umbrella. If you are planning a stay that includes swimming and picnicking, you will find specific options here for a day at the beach.

The waterfront area in New Liskeard also combines the beach with opportunities to get active. It features a one-mile-long beach and a waterfront promenade. A walking and cycling path adds to the facilities; there are also beach volleyball courts, basketball courts, baseball fields and public tennis courts. So, alongside time by the water, there are various options for exercise and ball games.

Trails, waterfall and geology

At Pete's Dam Park, an easy 2.4-kilometre trail runs along the river. The waterfall and rapids in the park draw visitors for hiking and picnicking. The trail and the natural features mentioned offer different ways to enjoy a visit: you can go for a hike or plan a picnic in the area.

If you are interested in the geological side of the area, you can visit RockWalk Park on the grounds of Northern College in Temiskaming Shores. It features almost 200 geological exhibits. The park is free to visit and is open year-round. It offers a different way to experience the landscape from the beaches and trails.

History and golf

The Little Claybelt Homesteaders Museum preserves the cultural heritage of South Temiskaming with artifacts and documentation about the settlement history of the Little Claybelt region. One of its offerings is a self-guided tour of an exhibit featuring antique farm machinery and tools. The Haileybury Heritage Museum dedicates its historical exhibits to the experiences of early settlers, local sporting achievements, Canada's first official airmail flight and Haileybury's connection to the Hardy Boys. The two museums thus offer different topics for visitors interested in regional history.

Golf enthusiasts will find the New Liskeard Golf Club in Temiskaming Shores, a public 18-hole golf course with a par of 72 and a licensed clubhouse. From the community of Haileybury, the Haileybury Golf Club overlooks Lake Temiskaming. If golf is a focus of your trip, you can include both courses in your plans.

The New Liskeard Waterfront Marina is located where Wabi Bay meets Lake Temiskaming. Together with the beaches, trails, museums and golf options, it offers a range of choices for different travel interests. When choosing a vacation rental in Temiskaming Shores, you can first consider which of these activities you would especially like to include in your stay.
