Located
on the shores of beautiful Grand Lake, the Achray Campground is
famous for its pine forests, sand beaches, and outstanding scenery.
Tom Thomson, one of Canada's most famous landscape artists, worked
here in 1916, and a short walk south of the campground on the Jack Pine Trail (1.6 kilometres round trip) takes you to the scene
that inspired the famous canvas, The Jack Pine.
