We’ve been here a while.

Sam’s is the snack bar at Pioneer Bay beach, in Clearwater Lake Provincial Park. We open with the May long weekend and close when the season ends in September.

If you’re here for the day, come hungry. If you’re camping at Pioneer or 25 Mile, we’re a short walk away. You can get to us by car, by bike, or by boat — we keep an eye on the dock.
