Ecofest Barrie takes place directly on the shores of Lake Simcoe so what better place to come and swim, paddle and get wet? We have a host of exciting and fun water activities for you, no matter your age. Grab a drink from our café and water bar and then head to the beach for a ride in our water balloons. Fancy a trip in a canoe? Why not get your beginner paddler's certification at the same time!
