Found in the beautiful northern part of Richmond Hill,Oak Ridges. Lake Wilcox is both a thriving local attraction and a sensitive ecosystem.

The Town of Richmond Hill balances environmentalism with entertainment in Lake Wilcox, used for swimming, fishing, and water sports, while supporting many complex and fragile biological communities.

Covering nearly 56 hectares, the lake is perfect for canoeing and windsurfing. Sports such as water skiing are less popular -- motorboats are prohibited from exceeding speeds of 9km per hour. Motorboats are, in fact, discouraged altogether due to their greater ecological impact.
