bell park walkway / boardwalk

You get a great view of lake Ramsey, there are multiple beaches along the way as well as the diving rocks . They put gazebos and benches all over so you can sit and enjoy the view of the lake pretty much anywhere along the boardwalk and bell park walkway. Technically you are not allowed to ride your bike but that has never stopped me or many others from riding anyway, were also technically not allowed to dive from the rocks either but we still do, some people like to dive off the boardwalk docks right near science north. Some people come here to go fishing. Others come to walk along the lake, many spend the entire day. Its a great place for dogs too . If you come to Sudbury this is a must see for you. Any time of year. Preferably summer or winter but its still good otherwise you'll see.

Looks nice covered with snow on a winters day....Good for photos.Especially when it's sunny and clear.

Opened in the Spring, Summer, and FallVery picturesque! A wonderful, breezy place for a walk. The area is stroller and wheelchair accessible also.

I love this winding path that skirts Ramsey Lake. Beautiful trees, lookouts and flowers. All kinds of birds, squirls and chipmunks. The only thing I dislike is the amount of people walking with dogs on long leaches. I really don't like strange dogs coming up to me, makes me very nervous.

I grew up in Sudbury, and there are very few things I liked about the city, but this was always at the top of my list. While it can get busy during warm summer days, it is such a lovely walk with gorgeous views of Ramsey Lake. Many spots along the trail to pause or take photos (and you'll get some beautiful photos). There is a gorgeous gazebo area that has wonderful flowers planted in the summer as well. One end of the boardwalk features a beach and the majority of Bell Park while the other end leads you to Science North. I also recommend visiting in the fall as the leaves change colour-- simply stunning. In the winter, the wooden boardwalk area is closed for safety reasons, but there is a skating area on the lake near Science North. If you go anywhere in Sudbury during the summer/fall, go here and bring a camera.

Beautiful waterfront walkway , right in the centre of town , beautiful scenery , unique pathway , safe & secure.

It is wheelchair friendly and good for those who cannot walk on rough terrain. Great for families with strollers

Experience the beauty Sudbury has to offer. Walk around Lake Ramsey, one of Canada's largest in-city lakes. Beautiful scenery, don't forget to bring your suit so you can also enjoy a beautiful swim.

Bring your dog (on a leash of course) and enjoy the beautiful boardwalk, flowers, and beach that Sudbury has to offer - all for FREE - in the downtown area. We are so lucky to have an amazing place like this!

Right in the city too. In the winter the city maintains a skating path on the lake that parallels the board walk on land. You can start at the other end of the boardwalk at Science North. It also goes by the outdoor Grace Hartman Ampthitheatre, site of the Nothern Lights Festival Boréal the first weekend in July for an amazing, eclectic mix of Canadian and international music.

This is the perfect place for a quiet walk in the spring and fall. Walk the boardwalk over looking ramsey lake. A park nearby for the kids to play and many beaches to swim if the weather is nice. Does get crowded on hot summer days.

The water is beautiful along the trail and the Memorial to the Miners is a must see! The workmanship in the Memorial is amazing.

If you are visiting Sudbury I strongly recommend you take the time to take a leisurely walk around the lake. If you are so inclined there are a couple beaches and private areas to swim. The park is often used for concerts so don't be surprised if something is going on down there. Also you can take a tour of the lake on the Cortina. This boat located near Science North has a bar that serves food and beverages. The walk is 2.2 K. The park is beautifully kept and the walk is refreshing. You will definitely want to bring your camera. There is a jungle gym and picnic tables with plenty of lawn space in front of the main beach. In the summer there is a place to buy food. If that's not open you can go over to Science North where there is a cafeteria on the main floor. For more formal dining The Snowflake Room is open upstairs in the evenings. You can tour the Science Center or take in The Imax theater. I've even seen kids fishing off the Pier although I don't know if that's encouraged I've never seen any hassle over it. Its a great place to spend the afternoon Plenty of places to stop and sit with a really nice lookout. Plenty of parking across the street and at the park.

As an ex-pat it was a refreshing walk down memory lane and good to see the city Reno and maintain their natural resources for all to explore and enjoy

The boardwalk is right around the lake and you are basically walking by the waterfront. It can be used as a relaxing and enjoying walk or for athletic purposes such as running or speed walking as it has up and down hill areas but not too steep. In the summer, if it is hot out you can stop along the walk way and enjoy a swim to cool off as there are a few nice beach area's along the boardwalk. Great place to walk your dog!
