Pancake Bay Provincial Park was established in 1968 by Ontario Parks. It is a recreation-class provincial park created to help preserve the fragile beach dune ecology. There are 325 campsites, including 160 with electricity. There are three comfort stations. Yurt camping is available in the park. Group camping sites are also available.

In 2006 Pancake Bay Provincial Park received an extension as part of Ontario's Living Legacy and now comprises 17.23 square kilometres (6.65 sq mi).[3]
