More than 10,000 years ago, the area that is now the park was covered by a huge glacier.  Today, reminders of that ancient glacier can be seen in the high, rolling hills, the valleys partly filled with glacial soils, and the uplands with their eskers, kames and moraines. 

There are different formations of gravel and silt that were left behind when the glacier receded.  East of Antrim Lake in the park is a pre-glacial boulder field, where massive rounded rocks lie in a jumble.

Plants and Wildlife

Halfway Lake Provincial Park gives the park visitor a great chance to paddle, hike and camp among the 20 lakes in this wilderness northwest of Sudbury. You might see heron rookeries, moose, nesting osprey and beaver ponds as you journey through the park.

Abundant fish, game and berries fed the Ojibway here before park visitors discovered the beauty and solitude of Halfway’s lakes and forests.
