Bon Echo Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada

Bon Echo is probably one of the most beautiful public spaces in Southern Ontario
There's only one problem.... It's proximity to larger population centres make it extremely popular all summer long.  It's breathtaking scenery is still worth the trip.
Just try and get there during the week or in the off-season.
Mazinaw Lake is the second deepest lake in the province.  The scarp face of Mazinaw rock stands 100 metres above the lake's surface and extends over 140 metres below.
More intriguing than the geography of the rock face is the extensive collection of aboriginal pictographs that decorate it near the waterline.
 No one is really certain what all the symbols, attributed to the ancient Ojibwe peoples, mean or how far back they date but modern science has yet to be able to duplicate the durability of the substances used to produce them.
