Murphys Point Provincial Park, Provincial park in Tay Valley, Canada.
The 1,239-hectare park extends across forests, wetlands, and fields, featuring multiple trails that connect to Big Rideau Lake for outdoor activities.
Established in 1967, the park preserves the Silver Queen Mine from the early 1900s, where miners extracted mica through underground tunnels.
Educational programs during summer months teach visitors about local ecology, natural habitats, and the mining heritage of the region.
The park operates from May to October with camping facilities, comfort stations, and winter services available from December through March.
Visitors can participate in lantern-lit evening tours to explore the restored Silver Queen Mine, learning about traditional mining methods.
