Lumsden Pond Provincial Park

This is a great little picnic park but as one other reviewer said, it has no picnic tables. If the park is listed as a picnic park it should have picnic tables. I wonder if it used to have them but doesn’t anymore? No power or water either, although it is obvious that power and water used to be there. There is a sign saying that video surveillance is in effect, but all the power lines have been removed so it’s obvious that isn’t happening anymore. HOWEVER, the park is BEAUTIFUL. Definitely off the beaten track, as other reviewers have said. You really have to look this one up on purpose to find it, which we did on our way back to Halifax from Middleton and wanted the place to have lunch. Fortunately, we had an RV so we could have lunch anyhow, but it would be really nice if the province supplied even a couple of picnic tables. The view of the lake is stunning, and there are two mini-trails, one going toward the lake and one to the road. Can’t really get exercise, but lovely to explore. There are two outhouses in great condition, even during COVID-19 times, and three changing rooms, which are basically outhouse style huts that are empty. We really loved it. What a beautiful spot to find and have lunch and stay for a bit. We say families arrive and go swimming, dog walkers, and romantic couples some and enjoy the view and the grounds. I would recommend it as a place to discover for a quiet break.

Very beautiful scenery and quiet but there were algae bloom and we couldn't swim

Beautiful view. Be mindful of water quality when here. Red/Blue algae blooms are prevalent.

Nice peaceful spot, accessed usually with the Polaris

Great place to cool off on a hot day or to kayak or canoe
