Happy National Indigenous Peoples’ Day! Come celebrate with us here at the park by exploring the Visitor Centre Learning Place and the Kinoomaage-Waapkong (The Teaching Rocks). What a great way to spend the first day of summer too! #IndigenousDay #SummerSolstice

Did you know we have an interpretive sign at McGinnis Lake West picnic area? Here are 3 reasons you should check it out: Learn more about 1) how meromictic lakes are formed, 2) what causes the beautiful greenish-blue colour, and 3) why McGinnis deserves protection 🌊#DiscoverOP

Many of Ontario's snakes are quite tiny. 🐍 In our opinion, they're downright adorable! 💙💚 If you think snakes are all big and scary, we hope this will give you a new perspective on our slithering scaly friends: bit.ly/44MHy4b #WorldSnakeDay
