Boating

In the off season you can come free of charge. A really great place to walk the dog, go for a hike, bike the trails, rent a canoe, fish in the river or lake, campout, etc, etc. And all within city limits. There are so many areas to explore here. The ice fisherman are usually catching some walleye too; it's 22/01/2018 and there's a good foot of ice right now. I've also seen photographers that perch themselves up on the dam, they wait for the wildlife, and the deer are especially thick here. In the summer the lake is bustling with sailboats, fisherman, and tons of athletes rowing their hearts out, coaches bellowing over their megaphones and all. It's one of London's best outdoor playgrounds, no doubt.
