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. The knowledgeable park staff and interpretive signs provide helpful information to make 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.
