Bon Echo Provincial Park is located near the village of Cloyne in Lennox and Addington County. The park is a favourite destination for painters and photographers and is renowned for Mazinaw Rock, a 1.5-km sheer rock face that rises 100 m above Mazinaw Lake. The Rock features over 260 Indigenous pictographs - the largest visible collection in Canada! Bon Echo boasts 3 swimming areas in the Mazinaw Campground. Lifeguards are not present. The park offers a PFD Lending Program for water safety, as well as an All Terrain Wheelchair (refundable deposit required). While domestic animals are not permitted on these beaches, the park has a Pet Swimming Area between Main Beach and South Beach where pets can be off-leash and enjoy the water with their owners.

South Beach is also on Lower Mazinaw Lake. The buoyed area is very shallow. South Beach is grassy up to the lake’s shoreline, with picnic tables and good shade. There are washrooms and showers nearby. Several large parking lots service this beach.
