Top 5 Father’s Day Experiences on Lake Simcoe (That Aren’t Another BBQ)

Let’s be honest — your dad doesn’t need another “World’s Okayest Grill Master” mug. This Father’s Day, skip the socks and surprise him with something actually unforgettable.

Whether he’s the type to chase adrenaline or just wants an excuse to hit the lake with his crew, Lake Simcoe is stacked with experience gifts he’ll actually brag about.

Here are five fun, local, memory-making ideas that go way beyond burgers and ballcaps.

1. 🚤 Jet Ski Thrill Ride with LSWR (That’s us!)

If your dad’s got a wild side — or just needs to let loose — a jet ski ride is the ultimate Father’s Day upgrade.

Fast, splashy, and guaranteed to make him feel 25 again, our jet ski rentals are made for dads who love the lake life.

Options available:

✔️ Solo or double riders

2. 🍻 Dock & Dine at a Lakeside Brewery or Patio

After the ride, swing over to a nearby lakefront patio. Local favourites like The Boondocks or The Beach Lakefront Bar & Grill serve up epic views, cold pints, and post-ride bites.

Pair his jet ski session with a burger + beer and you’ve just nailed Father’s Day.

3. 🎣 A Chill Fishing Charter (with a Bonus Nap)

If Dad’s more low-key, charter a boat and drop a line. The calm of the lake, the fresh air, the classic dad jokes — it’s all part of the vibe. Bonus points if he catches dinner.

Local guides make it easy to book a half-day or full-day excursion.

4. 🛶 Pontoon Time with the Whole Fam

Want to include siblings, grandkids, or even the dog? Book a pontoon rental for a group cruise.

You bring the snacks, the tunes, and the sunscreen — we’ll bring the boat.

LSWR pontoons fit the whole crew and are a laid-back way to celebrate together.

5. 🎁 Instant Gift Cards (AKA Lifesavers for Last-Minute Shoppers)

Need something now?

Grab a digital LSWR gift card and give Dad the freedom to book when it suits him best.
