The picturesque Kelley’s Bathtub is named after a local outdoorsman and is truly the heart of William A. Switzer Provincial Park. Enjoy the views of the “bathtub” from the viewing deck and chat with our knowledgeable staff at the Switzer Park Visitor Centre, which is located here. There are ten picnic sites with tables that allow for alcohol consumption, plus a picnic shelter that features a wood stove and power. Take a dip in the water at the small beach, or head out on one of the three hikes that begin here: Kelley’s Bathtub, Jarvis Lake, and Friendly Vistas.

While open in the winter, this Day Use Area has limited services and maintenance.
