Mazinaw

At Mazinaw Lake a sheer rock face rises above deep water, carrying an exceptional collection of Indigenous pictographs. More than 260 images are spread along the cliff, including abstract and geometric designs. The name Mazinaw comes from an Algonquin word for a picture or writing, recalling the marks made on the stone. The cliff stands at the narrows between the upper and lower parts of the lake, amid the wooded landscape of the southern Canadian Shield.
