a place rich in natural beauty. Today, the splendour
remains. We plan to keep Prince Township ‘simply beautiful’

accessible, safe and easy way to launch and dock kayaks and
canoes. The park offers a small tenting area for cycling and/

Oceans Marina offers a boat launch and docking facilities.

months. As well, a snowmobile trail meanders through the
township. Visit our library and EarlyON Child & Family Centre.
