Swimming & Beach.
Township public beaches dot Lake of Bays' shoreline: Dwight Beach on Dwight Bay, Norway Point Beach on the lake's mid-arm, Baysville's Riverside Park at the Muskoka River outlet, and Trillium Park at Dorset on the east arm. Late June through August is the marquee swim window across all four locations.
The brief.
Lake of Bays is small enough by big-Ontario standards that each bay has its own micro-climate and water-temperature profile — Dwight Bay (west arm) warms earlier than the deeper main lake, and Dorset's east arm runs cooler. Township beaches are free and operate seasonally with the standard Township calendar; check the Township of Lake of Bays parks page for current hours and conditions.
There is no Provincial Park beach inside the township boundary (Arrowhead's three sand beaches are across the boundary in Huntsville, and Algonquin's beaches are inside the Park).
