What’s more fun than a mystery? Well, there’s one that’s open for exploration on the shores of Larder Lake in northern Ontario. The unusual positioning of eighteen huge boulders, some as high as twelve feet, can be found in the bush on the northern shore of Larder Lake. No one is sure how the boulders come to be in their unique formation on two hectares of land in this remote area. And though they don’t have the same visual impact as England’s Stonehenge, they’re still a marvelous sight. Their alignments match exactly with the rising and setting of the sun and their proximity to Mt. Cheminis, which is a volcanic plug, suggest that the stones were once a Native American shrine used for worship.
Archeologists who have dug in the area have found evidence that Indians lived in the area 6.000 years ago and there’s evidence present that suggests they had established a huge quarry nearby. Archeologists continue to work in the area to find more clues to the mystery of the stones.
Because the area must be protected until security can be established at the site, visitors must inquire in the Town of Larder Lake for directions to the site. If you are in the area, don’t miss this awesome worship place. When you set foot into the area, you get the feeling of having stepped back in time; an awesome experience.
