Rice Lake

In the book of Terry Boyle “Hidden Ontario” there is an chapter about Serpent Mounds at Keene, sacred burial mounds, the only one in Canada and second in the North America. This First Nation Site was rented by Ontario Government and used as a provincial park. We packed the car and drove there.

The park had being closed for last 7 years but the town next to it is small and beautiful. Keene:

The war monument
The center place of the town: the memorial, dedicated to the men died in the wars with the list of the names
Keene town
The town is small, quiet, clean with the best pulled pork sandwich I ever had. Muddy’s Pit is the name of the place.

 

Being very close to legendary Rice Lake, we’d like to see it straight from the shore. Our next stop was Bewdley.

There is Rice Lake Conservation Area next to this place with access to the water and forest. The First Nations grew the black rice here.
