Google Maps leads hundreds into the lake to watch the colours

 Thank goodness, they stopped, before driving into the lake.  

Once upon a time, some famous tickytoc person said "Lets all go to Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park to look at the colours."  I'm saying ticstocs because they were all Chinese and Indians from Toronto.

So, the actual Google pin for the park is in the geographic centre, which is in the middle of a forest.  There were hundreds of people who followed the directions and came to the end of the road.  That end was our local marina.  So, all these people parked in all the spaces, and decided this was a boat show and went in all the private boats, and threw garbage around.

This drove the poor owners nuts.  Even as I left today, I saw a dozen cars coming in.  I put in a Google edit, because I'm a google maps star.  But that error has been there for years.  Neato.


This is a canoe park on a cottage lake.  You can't get there by car, but there are nice helpful driving instructions.  

ps.  Google Lemmings
