Pinhey’s Point

The park opened May 13 and is open Wednesdays to Sundays until September. Looks like the Ontario Government is doing a lot of work to open more parts of the house for show, and they offered more information, generally. The guided tour is very informative. I love seeing more of this Heritage Home, and learning about the Pinheys in general.
The site is a great place for a picnic, or as a rest stop on a boat journey — there’s showers!!! Bring your camera — there are plenty of photo ops here! And it will be wonderful to see in its fall colours. We will be back!
They have special events all summer long, including concerts, I do know that in the Civic Holiday weekend, they offer a 1 day event for craftspeople, including a knitting display. If you’ve always wanted to know how to knit, perhaps this will be the time and place to learn how?

Edited June 17 2013 to add that Pinhey’s Point is now running an event in Mid-​August, called Riverfest — another wonderful and well run event. This year it is August 11, 2013.
Riverfest 2015 will be happening on Sunday August 9^th. They’ve added an aboriginal storey teller (he’s really good!), and canoe rides (for which there is a small fee). There are other demonstrators too. It’s a great family event, and so worth the outing!
