    This is a nice little reminder of our rich history. The marker is well maintained and easy to spot from the road. After you read the contents, take a moment to admire the view. I suggest sunset on a warm, summer night.

    Good place to load and unload canoe and kayak. Free parking for about 20 cars. Not busy over the weekends. Love the place.

    This plaque commemorates a War of 1812 British Navy site.
    The plaque says;
    The Royal Navy Depot Holland Landing, constructed during the War of 1812, stood just north of this site on the east bank of Soldiers' Bay. Its buildings and other facilities served as an administrative and transshipment centre within a network of roads, waterways, portages and posts that connected Lake Ontario to the upper Great Lakes. To avoid American forces in the Niagara-Lake Erie-Detroit River corridor, British authorities moved vital supplies from York (Toronto) through this depot to Georgian Bay to support the successful war effort on the upper lakes. In addition, they distributed gifts to Aboriginal allies in the region from this site. After the return of peace in 1815, officials gradually concentrated most local military operations at Penetanguishene, which led to the decline and abandonment of the depot in the 1830s. Afterwards, travellers occasionally used it for shelter until it was transferred to private ownership in the 1860s.

    An important and historical area York taking you back in history to the supply transfer of the Battle of 1812. And before that, an important waterway system for the indigenous tribes that surround this beautiful area of Ontario. Enjoy!
