A nice place , usually quite empty....

Beautiful spot. Water is gorgeous. Lake has lots of erratic boulders to explore. Canoes are always good quality to take out on an adventure. And the ice cream is delicious!

This place really has become somewhat of a haven to my partner and I. We come here when we feel sad, when we argue and when we want to catch some sun It's a calm area that feels very safe and enclosed, it's not often busy and there's always space for us There are lots of free amenities, including toilets, benches, deck chairs and even kayaks and paddle boards!!! All you have to do is check them out with the cafe. We have enjoyed their hotdogs so far but they were excellent and for $3 you really can't argue. The only issue we ever have here are the horseflies which can be annoying so definitely bring bug spray!!!

Municipal Park on Sandy Bottom Lake, with knowledgeable staff, canteen, supervised swimming area and kayaks. Lovely spot.

This is a great family park. Everyone had their own space on the beach, there is some shade, picnic tables and seats available, canteen and clean washrooms. You can rent kayaks and canoes. Swimming area is roped off and it's not too deep, so kids can be having fun while remaining safe. It is a lake, so there are leeches and minnows - which the kids loved to try and catch, so bring a bucket! We live roughly 40/45 mins away, so we stayed hours and my kids were not disappointed! Freezies were only $1 for the jumbo ones (bonus!) Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy :)

Very nice beach with sandy lake. Was a great spot to relax on a hot, sunny day. Lots of picnic tables and places to sit in the sun or shade.

Clean, attractive, large, fun, lots of wildlife. A family-friendly park with public wasrooms and outhouses. Norm the Gnome has a house here and there is a painted shark. Please help to keep the park clean!

Very peaceful beach side with a decent number of visitors. The thing I was very impressed about is the cleanliness of the facilities! Definitely would recommend.

The view was great and the beach wasn't busy when my niece and I camped there. Nice to have the beach a few steps a way and Sandy Bottom Lake is a great lake. When we were there their well had a boil order in place. When I took a shower and it smelled like bleach, it made me very itchy so stopped showering and just went swimming. The bathrooms need a reno and they only have one shower. They have two outhouses, one for men and one for women and the bathhouse with men's and women's lockers rooms. I didn't go into the men's locker room, but the women's has one larger bathroom (handicapped one) with a chair and a sink. The other is a water closet without a sink. There are two sinks in the locker area and a long bench. There is one shower. Getting it working was confusing at first because I originally thought the slots to pay was perhaps left over from a washer. The price is 25 seconds for 5 minutes. We ended up calling showers our $1 showers because we took 10 minute showers. The canteen was out of a lot of things because it was the end of the season, but they had good nachos and things like ice cream, frozen yogurt and popsicles. They had hot dogs too. They were put of ice but very kindly ordered some. The beach is small but is nice. There is a volley ball net and canoes, kayaks, and peddle boats that can be rented for a cheap price. They do not rent them out anymore after 5 pm. We had a great time in the kayaks but our favorite thing to do was swimming. There is a life guard on duty sometimes and a shallow end roped off. There isn't a lot to do there so it is good that is something we love to do. It is a good base to go to other places though. The campgrounds were clean, but keep in mind that the ground is soft and it can get windy so bring extra stakes if you are tenting. There are fire pits available and firewood is available at the canteen. The campsites are a great price and there are serviced sites (electricity and water) for only $27 and they have 2 bedroom cottages Jr. cottages available too. Another nice thing about Raven Haven is that free wifi is available so we could watch netflix at night. The staff were friendly too. While there were some negative things at Raven Haven, we had a great time. I would recommend this place.
