Rock Art in Ontario.
The carvings, some 900 of them, are protected under a modern purpose built shelter. Commonly known as the "rocks that that teach" they are the largest known single concentration of Aboriginal rock art in Canada. Thought to have been the work of an Algonquin speaking group the origins are uncertain although they are thought to predate the arrival of Europeans in North America.

The spiritual nature of the art means that photography of the petroglyphs is prohibited, hence the reason for no pictures being attached to this description.

There is an interpretation centre to explain the beliefs of the Aboriginal peoples before visiting the petroglyphs. The site is both informative and peaceful, in keeping with the aboriginal beliefs.

The site is in a day use only Provincial Park, with the published co-ordinates being for the park entrance. There is an entrance fee, $14 for two adults in a car. The hours are 10-5 during the week and can be checked at this link, along with other information: www.ontarioparks.com.
