What an amazing peek into history!! One can feel the calmness and peace at the park. We reached the park around 3:15 pm. The park ranger at the entrance informed us that since the park closes by 5, we can park at the Seniors/Handicap parking area which is much closer and a very short walk from the visitor center and the exhibit. Since we didn't have much time, we just visited the ancient rock where carvings are, and did not do any trails or the lake. The energy of the place is definitely different, there is peace and positivity in the air! The staff was very helpful, they explained the carvings and told us stories/legends behind the symbols and were patient enough to answer our questions. 50% of their staff have first nation origins, everything felt very genuine and authentic. Photography is not allowed at the actual site but the exhibit a the visitor center has all the pictures and the stories. It's a must visit for children, there is no better way of learning history than experiencing it.

This is a very popular (and extremely beautiful) lake in the North Kawartha region of Ontario Canada. Foursquare has it as a location along with many businesses in the area.

On the way there, Google Maps and Waze will say “You have arrived.” And you will see a sign for the conservation area. So you keep driving looking for a parking lot. But you will realize that you have gone too far, so you will head back. On the way back, you will see the back of the sign with an arrow pointing across the street. There is a sign on that “street” that says “Private Road” but that is the road to get to the parking area. This road is more for SUVs or off road vehicles. Trust me. At the “end” is a little clearing that is good for maybe 10 vehicles. Then you make your way down to the gorge. You can picnic and have a dip on the waters before the gorge. I suggest going on a dry day in the summer time as I have heard the rocks could get slippery. In retrospect I wish I had taken pics of the signs had I thought of writing this review then. Overall, a fun trip and beautiful hidden gem. *not for those who have mobility issues.
6. Marvel Rapids Golf Course
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 8 reviews
Marvel Rapids is situated on rolling meadows and mature woodlands. Resplendent in towering pines, this beautiful course provides variety and challenge in each of its nine holes. Eels Creek wends its way through the course en route to Stoney Lake and encompasses a series of rapids cascading over pre-cambrian outcroppings. The creek and its rapids make this a splendid golfing experience.

Made it up to Stoney Lake a couple times last summer and am looking forward to returning again this year! I've tried almost everything Kawartha Adventure Rentals has to offer- kayak, sea-doo, SUP and even the peddle boat- they're all great! It is called Stoney Lake for a reason- but the lake is well marked and the staff are clear and comprehensive in their instructions to make sure you have a safe and enjoyable experience. Plus their location is great- easy to get to and when you need a break from the water you can walk over to The Market for ice cream. Doesn't get much better than that!
