OASTLER LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK
	INTRO: Oastler Lake Provincial Park Then and Now... Much has changed since Andrew Oastler landed in Canada from Scotland in 1869. Oastler Lake Provincial Park was regulated as a Provincial Park in 1967 and was a tribute to William Oastler (son of Andrew) for his contributions of many years on the council of Foley Township. With an annual visitation of over 40,000 per year, Oastler Lake Provincial Park continues to be a destination for campers in the Parry Sound area. With an average length of stay at 3.7 days per visit, the visitors to Oastler Lake contribute well in excess of one million dollars to the local economy annually.
The park does potential upgrades planned for the future. In accordance with the new Drinking Water Regulations 170, Oastler will be home to a state of the art water treatment facility. Espansion of the existing 24 electrical campsites will have 18 additional sites convrted in the Riverside campground to better suite our users needs. Oastler Lake Provincial Park office continues to be the home of the Massasauga Provincial Park as well.

Access to the Massasauga is either via Three Legged Lake for the interior or via Pete's Place located on Healy Lake Road for our boating cliental. by Mike Foley, Superintendent, Oastler Lake Provincial Park (2005)
