The Wanderer, a 26 passenger cruise vessel, provides a relaxing tour of Upper Mazinaw Lake.
The tour is interpretive, as passengers are accompanied by a marine captain
and an interpreter who explains points of interest along the way. Learn about
interesting features of the majestic Mazinaw Rock: the native pictographs
which mark its face,the rare ancient cedar trees that have survived harsh environmental
conditions for hundreds of years, and the history surrounding a memorial carved
into the rock's face to the famous American poet, Walt Whitman. This tour boat runs daily during July and August. Information is available at Greystones Gift & Book Shop or by calling (613)336-9863 in
advance. Tours leave from the Visitor Centre Dock.
Top of your trip with a copy of the Friends publication: The Rock: Bon Echo Provincial Park’s Silent Sentinel. The Rock provides a wonderful introduction to the geology, fauna, wildlife and native pictographs on Mazinaw Rock and a history of white settlement including the establishment of the Bon Echo Inn by Dr. Weston Price, the exciting Denison era and the painting of the Rock by most of the Group of Seven. Pick up a copy at the Greystones Gift and Book Shop. |
Park visitors who wish to go "Wumping"
can catch the Mugwump Ferry Boat at the Lagoon Dock. This
12 passenger pontoon boat operates from mid-May until Labour Day. Passengers are taken
across Mazinaw Lake to Mazinaw Rock where they can hike the 1.5 km trail to
the top. Once atop the "Canadian Gibraltar", visitors will have a panoramic view of Mazinaw country. Trail
guides are available from the on-board interpreter. The Mugwump runs on demand
each
day throughout the summer months and on weekends in the summer months and on weekends in the spring and fall. |
