Bon Echo Provincial Park is on the southern edge of the Canadian
Shield in Eastern Ontario. Its beautiful forests, lakes, and beaches
combine with a rich cultural history, and one particularly outstanding
geological feature -- Mazinaw Rock -- to make this park one of the
most popular outdoor recreation areas in the province.
The spectacular 1.5 kilometre long sheer cliff rising 100 metres
above the deep dark waters of Mazinaw Lake, attracts more than 150,000
visitors to the park every year. The Rock is a special place for
many reasons, but perhaps the most intriguing testimony to this,
are the scores of ancient Native pictographs painted just above
the waterline. These beautiful haunting images represent one of
the largest such concentrations in North America.
