McLaren's Bay is a Dispersed rural community and unincorporated place in geographic Parkman Township [3] in the Unorganized North Part of Nipissing District in Central Ontario, Canada. [1] [4] [5] [6] The community lies on the eponymous McLaren's Bay [7] on the west shore of Lake Timiskaming, at the mouth of Opimika Creek. McLaren's Point is just north of the community. [8]
