Ontario Parks beaches are monitored according to the province's Beach Management Protocol. The Protocol says that authorities must check water quality at least weekly from June 1 to Labour Day at beaches where there are formal swimming programs or lifeguards. Beaches are typically tested early in the week, on Monday or Tuesday.
Samples are processed at provincial labs, processing times vary from park to park, depending on location. Beach postings may occur anytime during the bathing season. As part of the routine monitoring program of public beaches, beach postings may be required where exceedance of recreational water quality levels and other environmental data supports the need for posting. Beaches are posted when the geometric mean of the samples collected exceeds E.
If the recreational water quality at a swim site exceeds this standard it is given a RED current status in Swim Guide. Orillia - Moose Beach Featured. Email address. Remember Me.

To contribute to tourism and the economy of the Georgian Lakeland tourist region, and the CORTS policies by providing residents and non-residents of Ontario with opportunities to explore the unique features of the area. The park currently contributes over a million dollars annually to the Provincial economy through tourist and park expenditures.
These policies encouraged the protection of public open space as well as the development of a coordinated recreation system in the Corridor. This 38 hectare zone will accommodate facilities and services for a wide range of day use recreation and camping activities. Development will be designed to limit environmental impacts on the land and water. The two points in this zone covered with white cedar and upland hardwoods will be protected to maintain their natural values.
Zone NE 2. Development in this zone will be limited to facilities that support low intensity day use recreation such as the nature trail and associated signs. Traditionally waterfowl hunting has occurred in the fall on the middle and southern points of the park under regulation of the Game and Fish Act. Due to the timing of the hunting season mid-October to mid-December and co-operation from the hunters, there has been no conflict between the hunters and other park users.
Hunting will continue to be permitted on these two points. There will be no other hunting allowed in the park. Enlarge figure 3: Proposed development and zoning map. The park's natural resources will be managed in accordance with the general planning and management policies for recreation class parks outlined in the Ontario Provincial Parks Planning and Management Policies.
Although the policies in this section are presented in separate categories all subsequent planning and management will recognize the need to integrate these components as they are all inter-related. The dry sand beach at McRae Point is very narrow and the wet-beach is filled with numerous cobbles and stones. The sand beach will be widened to accommodate more people. In addition, stones will be removed from the wet-beach to improve the swimming. All works will be done in accordance with an approved site and development plan.
Vegetation management activities in the park will promote forest regeneration, where appropriate, and wildlife habitat and public safety.
Commercial forest operations will not be permitted in the park. To ensure protection of the rare park flora, provide documentation for the planting program, and protect wildlife habitat, a vegetation management plan will be prepared for the park. Forestry and fish and wildlife staff will be consulted and, the prescription will follow vegetation management guidelines f or parks.
In the natural environment zone those trees that are hazardous to park visitors will be removed. Wildlife "den" trees will be retained provided they are not a safety hazard.
Insects and diseases threatening the forest values of the park will be controlled using biological methods where feasible. Control will be directed as narrowly as-possible. Significant vegetation communities identified in the life science inventory will be protected. In the development zone the vegetation management will involve planting of native species, where possible, in the open areas for aesthetics and as vegetative buffers around buildings and storage area.
The regeneration of trees on the drumlin ridge in the south portion of the park has been difficult since much of the topsoil was removed during initial construction of the park. Special planting measures such as the addition of topsoil fertilizers and the use of non-native species on the drumlin may be necessary to establish vegetation. Within the development zone the grassed areas will be managed to maintain the groomed appearance that is part of the park's character.
The tree planting program will eventually reduce the grass area that needs to be mowed. Waterfowl hunting will be permitted on the two southern points; no other hunting will be permitted.
Sport fishing will be encouraged through the provision of boat launch and docking facilities. Commercial bait fishing and trapping will not be permitted. Control of nuisance animals will be carried out under the supervision of the ministry. The goal of the visitor services program is to provide visitors with a variety of recreational and interpretive opportunities, and to provide information on the park, the surrounding area and other ministry programs and facilities.
The emphasis will be on self-use facilities. The district office will offer technical advice to the park staff. Guidance and assistance will also be provided by the staff of Bass Lake Provincial Park. Visitor services consists of the following three components listed in order of importance; information, recreation, interpretation. Information concerning the park, points of interest in the Orillia area, and the policies and programs of the ministry must be delivered to the park user.
This will be achieved through publications, newsletters, bulletin boards, displays and personal contacts. The best location for this information is the park gate.
