Traders Cove

Features and Things To Do:

Traders Cove is a beautiful lakeshore park to enjoy on a warm day with family and friends.  The park has two swim areas, a covered picnic shelter and a playground.  Outside the swimming areas, there are also buoys that boats can tie up to in each bay of the park.

Regional Parks Interpretive Programs are available by donation for school and community groups who would like to learn about our local environment and cultural history.
