Rock Art at Lac La Ronge, Saskatchewan.
This is one of the many areas in the Canadian Shield where rock art may be found. Some of the pictogram figures have been dated to 2000 years ago based on analysis of the paint used. Others showing figures with rifles date into the modern era.
The location is given for the town closest to the Lac La Ronge Provicial Park . The lake and the connected Churchill River System give access to many rock art sites. Many are accessible only by boat.
