Bon Echo Park

During the Roaring Twenties, Bon Echo was a major centre for the arts in the summertime and nearly all members of the Group of Seven painted and sketched there. They were drawn to the magnificent landscape and artistic values of the Bon Echo Inn, which was owned by a Toronto feminist Flora MacDonald Denison.Jun 3, 2014

Bon Echo features several lakes, including part of Mazinaw Lake, the second-deepest lake in Ontario. The southeastern shore of Mazinaw Lake features the massive 100 m (330 ft) high Mazinaw Rock, an escarpment rising out of the water, adorned with many native pictographs. The unofficial mascot of Bon Echo Park is the Ojibwe trickster figure and culture hero, Nanabush, who is among the 260 plus pictographs found in the area. Pictographs are often confused with petroglyphs, which are rock carvings rather than the rock paintings found on Mazinaw.

The scrawny tree located in the center above and below is reported to be over 2,000 years old and for that reason alone it deserves at least 2 pictures.
