Tuscarora Bay, divided from Lake Ontario by a strip of land called The Island, has a boat launch and emergency storm shelter docks. The park's four-mile nature trail is also used for hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Fishing for many varieties of pan fish and game fish, from boats or from shore, is extremely popular. Picnickers can enjoy scenic views of the lake while children play in the playground.

Bicycling
Cycling is permitted on the park's roadways, but caution must be exercised due to traffic. Off-road biking isn't allowed.

The terrain can vary from flat asphalt roads to more challenging hilly sections; always wear a helmet for safety.

Remember that cyclists share these routes with pedestrians and vehicles so remain alert at all times.

There are no designated bike trails in this area, hence it may not suit those seeking off-road adventures or mountain biking experiences.

Ensure you have adequate water supplies as there aren't many facilities along the cycling route within the park grounds.

Biking after dark is discouraged because of reduced visibility and increased risk factors involved.

Always follow local regulations regarding bicycle use - respect nature by sticking only to permissible areas while riding your bikes.
