Bon Echo Creek Trail

Follow Bon Echo Creek to where it enters lower Mazinaw Lake. Long a favourite destination for painters and photographers, this park north of Napanee is renowned for Mazinaw Rock.

This 1.5-kilometre sheer rock face rises 100 metres above Mazinaw Lake, one of the deepest lakes in Ontario, and features over 260 native pictographs – the largest visible collection in Canada.

Spend a day or plan overnight adventures in this hiking and canoeing paradise of deep, blue lakes, sandy beaches, granite outcrops and lush green forests.
