Long Lake Provincial Park is bordered by the Old Sambro Road on the east, Northwest Arm Drive on the NE, Watershed Commission lands bisected by the St. Margaret's Bay Rd. on the north, (the only entrance to the park which currently has a parking lot is located off this road, close to its intersection with the Prospect Rd.) and Prospect Road on the west.

There is a great community Lake Association Blog found here: https://longlakepark.ca/news/

It can be viewed from: the Northwest Arm Drive between the Spryfield exit on the St. Margaret's Bay Rd., and the Drive's termination on the Old Sambro Rd., the Old Sambro Rd. between the Northwest Arm Drive and its intersection with Leblin Drive and

from the Prospect Road, for a brief section just beyond Exhibition Park.

About 20 entrances to the park can be identified, including:

Several trails are along the St. Margaret's Bay Rd. (including from the parking lot near the Prospect Rd. exit),

while there 4 or 5 off the Northwest Arm Drive, most notably the old road across from Cowie Hill subdivision, which goes past Withrod Lake to some of the more popular swimming spots on Long Lake,

two paths going in opposite directions from the grassy area at the dam at the end of Dentith Rd.,

The Old Prospect Rd., from the Old Sambro Rd. to Goodwood - good access at each end,

the other Goodwood entrance, whose path leads to Harrietsfield, past the Spruce Hill Lake. Actually getting to Harrietsfield via this pathway is not easy because most access to Harrietsfield is blocked by private property.

the road which goes from Harrietsfield to the Spruce Hill Lake dam

2 or 3 paths which terminate on private property in Harrietsfield, and

an old road going from the Exhibition Park to the Pipeline Trail. (see below), and
