Snake Mound Park
is located 10 kilometers southeast of Peterborough on the shore of Lake Rice.
It was established in 1955.

The value of the park lies in the fact that there are 9 mounds where the Indians of one of the nomadic tribes were buried. The site was the site of the Indian tribe’s camp. The burial occurred about 2 thousand years ago. The largest mound is 200 feet long and has a zigzag shape resembling the path of a snake.

Petroglyph Park
Petroglyph Park is a national park located in Woodview, northeast of Peterborough.

The park contains examples of prehistoric rock art by the Anishinabek people. Images of people, animals, and mysterious abstract figures are carved into blocks of limestone. A total of about 900 different figures can be seen here. The scientists assume that the petroglyphs were made 500-1000 years ago.

Rock carvings in this area were discovered in 1954 by miners of Industrial Minerals Canada. Now this area is under the protection of a national park. Since 2002, the park has been open to visitors.
