    Maple Lake sits in the middle of three major provincial parks: Algonquin Provincial Park, Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park, and Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park. Algonquin is one of the most popular in the country. It was named a national historic site due to its many heritage values, such as its role in development of park management; it has also inspired many artists and has given Canadians a greater sense of their magnificent country. Algonquin Park allows fishing, mountain biking, horseback riding, cross country skiing, hiking, and camping. There is also a logging museum that features a logging camp, equipment, and panels on logging in the park. Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park is a relatively undeveloped area featuring a rugged rolling landscape of small lakes, wetlands, forests, and rocky barrens. It is not yet fully operational to protect the ecological integrity of the park. Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park is the second largest park south of the Algonquin Park. It hosts a wide variety of species such as the rare northern ribbon snake, American black bear, American beaver, and moose.
