Lake on the Mountain Provincial Park — Attraction in Ontario

The County is famous for it''s atmosphere of artisan wineries and fantastic beaches, but there's another "Lake" that does not get enough attention. Lake on the Mountain is located not far from, and above the Glenora Ferry, and it's vistas are stunning. It has a small inn and restaurant and a tiny brewery serving locally crafted ales. The menu has a nice variety, from salads to a charcuterie board, and we had a artisanal sausage, made with pork, white curd and jalapeno peppers that tasted just like MORE!!! Coffee is good and the service was fun and informative. The pub room serves food and drinks, and has been seen heading for the brewery to fill an order. Now that's fresh!

Regardless, we love it there and sometimes visit on snowy Christmas Days and take pictures of the ferry crossing the icy inlet and the snow on the...

I made a trip to sandbank provincial park but I was turned away, the park was full so we decided to go to Lake on the Mountain Provincial Park which is located not far from the Sandbank provincial park. There was nothing except for a small parking lot which you had to pay. There were few restaurants and houses but nothing else. Paying for parking was a struggle, many people struggled to pay for the parking, it was online but you had to create the account, it was mess. We paid $6 for 4 hours, but there was no place to see or enjoy. There were 4 picnic tables, I could not believe this place was designated as a provincial park, it was smaller than parkets around my home. I would not recommend this place.
