Très bel endroit pour une nuit facile d'accès en route. On a très bien dormi (parents, enfants et bébé) même avec le bruit des camions qui passaient sur la route. Réveil avec belle vue sur l'eau et le pont, bernaches en prime.

Nous avons passé une nuit, c’est un bel endroit tranquille, belle vue sur l’eau, tables à piknic, il y a une toilette sèche, une belle place .

Près de la route 11, grand parking avec assez de place pour tous les véhicules. Nous avons pu manger sur le bord du lac et tout à été durant la nuit. Des locaux avec leurs bateaux étaient présents le soir et le matin. Parfait pour une nuit

Beautiful Spot, Kelly Park, Mattagami River, Smooth Rock Falls, Ontario. westbound just before the bridge entrance on the left.
No signs indicating you can't park, camp, stop...flags at upper level. lots of parking, green grass, some level grassy spots. Boat launch, docks and couple picnic tables. No toilets. Bit of road traffic noise, below the nole so concealed from the highway.

Bien pour une nuit. Grand et propre. 2 petits pontons avec chacun une table de picnic. Beaucoup de va et vient de gens locaux. Quelques pêcheurs mettant leurs embarcations à l'eau. nous étions à l'écart de la rampe donc pas très dérangeant. Tout s'est calmé vers 21h30.

Perfect spot for an overnight on cross Canada trek w old dog and rear drop trailer. We enjoyed watching young families play and boat on the dock before turning in for the night
We took a nice walk along the field but it was very spi get and wet. So tired can’t remember any problem w traffic noise

Great place to park for the night. Had someone drive by this morning to check us out. Other then that it was a peaceful place to stay.

You're far enough from traffic, but not far enough to not hear it. Had a small fan on in the trailer and that pretty much drained the highway noise.

beau spot pour une tente dans l'herbe derrière les buissons, sur le bord de l'eau, à droite juste avant d'arriver au quai.

Big parking lot. One other truck here tonight. Some noise from highway. A local said there have been tons of bear sightings this year so best to leave food/garbage inside the camper

Nous sommes seulement arrêter pour souper dans notre VR mais aurait pu y passer la nuit. Large stationnement de gravier. Au bord de l’eau direct après le pont.

Construction site. No accès

large flat circular area for boaters to launch and retrieve their boats. Nice flat area to tuck into in the farthest corner of the lot. No services but good cell reception. Quiet spot, almost no road noise.

Excellent spot...very large parking area just beyond the bridge down by the water.
2 docks and picnic tables on them supplied by the Lions I believe.
Small pike caught off the dock.
Construction on the bridge so traffic noise is minimal and as we are below the road level it is less still.
I would estimate there is room for 3 or 4 large campers ( ors is 26 feet plus a truck ) but none is right on the water....close enough to see it and enjoy it however.
Locals may use it for fishing but by evening we were alone.
Lovely quiet spot.
There is also a pretty large grassy area opposite to the parking lot for tents ot dog walking...room for several tents but not level everywhere as seen in the pic
In the pic taken from the dock our RV is not visible to right, just across from White car so you can see how big the lot is.

Nice spot by the River. picturesque picnic table on the dock. Some trees for shelter, south side of highway. No signs forbidding overnight parking.
