Bon Echo features several lakes, including Bon Echo Lake; Joeperry Lake, along Rainey Creek; and part of Mazinaw Lake, the seventh-deepest lake in Ontario. The southeastern shore of Mazinaw Lake features the massive 100-metre-high (330 ft) Mazinaw Rock, an escarpment rising out of the water, adorned with many native pictographs.
Nanabozho, a trickster from Ojibwe legend and cultural hero is the unofficial mascot of Bon Echo Park.[1] He is featured prominently in pictographs adorning the sides of the rock escarpment on Mazinaw Lake. The site of the Mazinaw pictographs was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1982.[2][3]
