We took the Mazinaw Lake boat tour on June 30th. It was excellent! The tour guide Emma was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. There is lots of history to learn about at Bon Echo Park. We highly recommend you take a summer visit and don’t miss Grey Stones Gift Shop and the Visitors Center.

Wow what an amazing up close tour of Mazinaw Rock petroglyphs! Our guide, Colleen, provided excellent and knowledgeable commentary to an exceptional significant indigenous site.  We got up so close in the pontoon boat to view the paintings and unique features.  I highly recommend this tour.  You will learn so much and appreciate it jn a special way!
