Massasauga access points
Ontario Parks publishes the positions of two backcountry access points without names. The park's camping page places Pete's Place in the south, on the Georgian Bay side, and Three Legged Lake in the north, so the southern point is named Pete's Place here.
| Access point | Details |
|---|---|
| Pete's Place | South access, Georgian Bay side |
| Three Legged Lake | North access, inland lakes |
