As a result of glacial movement thousands of years ago, twenty self-contained lakes were formed in this park, which now offers various activities for all seasons.

We lived in Timmins from 2012 to 2019. Gillies lake is right in town. Great place for a walk along path that goes all way around the lake. The water is clean and good for swimming. Nice quiet place where to relax, meditate at lunch or anytime of the day.

Beautiful park. Didn't stay as the weather wasn't working for us but looked very nice. If in the area again would be a spot to consider camping.

It was great to learn about the history of Timmins. It was well presented as you walked through the museum with plaques and authentic items from the past. I would recommend going to learn more about the area!
