Northern Ontario

Iroquois Falls rests on the banks of the Abitibi River surrounded by lakes, rivers and boreal forests. The community is located in the Wilderness Region of northern Ontario, Canada, a doorway into the wilderness backcountry and to many outdoor adventures.

Historical Shay 70 Locomotive
Anson Park
"The Shay" is a three car locomotive built in 1928. The train was all about power because it was used for hauling large loads and manipulating the often "rough" train tracks.

Guy-Paul Treefall
https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/58327
Standing 20 feet tall, an axe at his side, Guy-Paul Treefall -- nicknamed "The Storyteller" or in French, "Le Raconteur" -- is a massive lumberjack beckoning tourists into the small paper mill town. The lumberjack is a tie to Iroquois Falls' forestry history, which is the reason for the town's existence. The sculpture was crafted by artist Denys Heppell from Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, Quebec, and named by a local elementary student.
