Step into the natural and cultural history of Ontario at Petroglyphs Provincial Park, home to one of the largest known collections of Indigenous rock carvings in Canada.

Families can explore the park’s remarkable petroglyphs, learn about their cultural significance and discover the surrounding landscape through scenic trails. Knowledgeable park staff and interpretive signs provide helpful information that makes the visit more meaningful.

One of the park’s natural highlights is McGinnis Lake, a rare meromictic lake whose deep and shallow waters remain separated rather than mixing. Swimming and fishing are not permitted in the lake.

Nanabush Trail is a scenic option for exploring the park on foot, with opportunities to enjoy the surrounding forest and natural landscape.
