Winter, spring, summer or fall ... yes, I've visited this place so many times at different times of the year. And each season is a unique experience. For those who love the outdoors, Crawford Lake is a must. If you're an avid hiker, CL has 11 kms of trails, all of them loops. There's one linear trail (around 8 kms)... More

What falls in, including corn pollen, stays perfectly preserved...which is how they found the... More

The ground is easy, lots of boardwalk. Good for wheelchairs too. The walk around the lake is beautiful. The water is clear. It's a unique place ecologically and educational too.

A small conservation area with a geologically interesting lake, and some reconstructed Iroquoian long houses. Parking and entry fees are high.

Nicely recreated village complete with several "fully furnished" longhouses, artifacts, crops and cemetery. Excavated and recreated on an actual place. Samples of hunting and farming tools, furs, crops. You can touch and try almost everything: dig ground with a stone "shovel", produce fire with friction, crash corn. Informative video about the history of this place and first nations' culture. Pristine... More
