BON ECHO
2025 INFORMATION GUIDE
Welcome to Bon Echo Provincial Park! Thank you for visiting Bon Echo Provincial Park during the 2025 season. Whether you are visiting for the first time or are one of our many returning patrons, we trust you will safely enjoy and appreciate one of the province’s most stunning landscapes. Bon Echo Provincial Park permanently protects over 20,000 acres of diverse ecosystems, rich human history, and rugged beauty. Our team strives to manage this natural environment park in a way that encourages the protection of significant natural and cultural resources while also providing opportunities for sustainable recreation and high-quality visitor education. At the heart of Bon Echo Provincial Park lies Mazinaw Lake, characterized by its deep blue waters, sweeping pine trees, and rocky shoreline cliffs. Above all, it is most recognizable for its striking geological feature, Mazinaw Rock. Mazinaw Rock displays the largest collection of Indigenous pictographs in Southeastern Ontario. Over 260 pictographs depict stories of rich culture and history.
For Indigenous peoples, the Mazinaw Rock is a deeply spiritual and sacred place. In honour of all people, past, present, and future, please respect Mazinaw Rock and all that lives and grows here. You can help protect this sacred place by enjoying the landscape respectfully and responsibly; never touch a pictograph with your hands or another object, and never damage or remove any part of a natural object.
