Since its inception as a Park in 1967 by the Department of Lands and Forests (now the Ministry of Natural Resources) under the Parks Assistance Act, it has been operated by the Chippewas of Nawash Band who recognized its potential for on-Reserve employment and the intrinsic beauty for future generations. As one of the few climbing areas that has on-site camping, showers, and a store, it has been a favourite pre- or post-stop for many climbers on their way to Lion's Head National Park or Half Way Log Dump. Since the cliff is just a short hike from the road and offers both numbered trad and sport routes, many have enjoyed its rugged beauty, lack of crowds, and amenities such as paddle boarding and kayak rentals, and easy access to international level mountain biking trails in Purple Valley.

CAPs and crowns and moulds in one sitting?
de Man & HöedionoDentistry is happy to announce we have a new machine in the office that can make caps or crowns and moulds of people's mouths digitally. It's called the CERAC machine. We use a digital camera to scan a patient's mouth, send those images to a computer which assembles them in 3D. Then these images are sent to our milling machine which will produce a person's ready restoration (CAP) and can also produce actual models within minutes. We now don't have to worry about people gagging, sending their records away for the crown to be made in two weeks as even out of town patients can have their work done in one sitting. Please check out the website www.sirona.com for further information.
