Couchiching Beach Park includes the town dock and sandy beach areas that attract many to Lake Couchiching each summer. This 14.5-acre park is home to many special events and is a stone’s throw from downtown Orillia.

The waterfront is also home to the historic Rotary Aqua Theatre, which was built in 1958, restored in 2022, and has been home to many concerts. During the summer months, Sunday Evening Band Concerts take place each week, showcasing bands from across the province much to the delight of local crowds.
