Now, small smatterings of the rich history can photo JOCELINE GERVAIS DUPUIS still be seen on the Silver Heritage Trails that wind through much of Coleman’s countryside. These trails take visitors back in time to the wildly prosperous silver boom that completely transformed the landscape. Many headframes still stand, as photo MELISSA MONK well as rock cuts where ambitious miners pursued the lure of wealth. Over time, writers have described the region as “the Land of Silver” or “Aladdin Land” or “the Land of the Silver Gnome”. In a time before miners arrived to claim their fortunes, raw silver could be picked up by the armful, lying in wait of discovery. Today Coleman is rich in history; evidence of the silver rush on every corner which gives visitors a feeling of nostalgia and wonder. Coleman boasts nature’s beauty in fl ourishing wildlife, clear and sparkling lakes, and beautiful forest. photo MELISSA MONK Visitor’s Guide 2016 19 The ideal spot for Outdoor Family Recreation, Sport Fishing and Relaxation

But that’s not the end of the expansion and glory of the Classic Theatre. In the mid 1990s, the Mezzanine THOUSANDS OF ARTIFACTS, gallery was born; a gallery dedicated to the fi ne arts, ONE AWESOME MUSEUM featuring artwork from local artists as well as renowned pieces. The gallery makes its use as a place for artists to hold exhibitions as well as a lovely display for people to browse during intermissions. Down by the Cobalt Lake, there lays the Teck Prospect Park that has plentiful green space, two soccer fi elds, a children’s playground, a splash pad, and a mini-putt course. These came into being in late 2007, after the Teck Corporation provided the town with a generous donation of $300,000 for one Dr. Norman B. Keevil’s contributions to mining. They also funded the Keevil Walking Trail, which follows the shore of the Cobalt Lake and offers spectacular views of the lake and the surrounding forest. Something in Cobalt that you cannot drive by and miss is the few headframes that are still standing. A headframe is a building that was built over the top of an open mineshaft to act as an elevator shaft to transport miners and rock to and from the mines. The most iconic headframe in Cobalt is the Townsite headframe. It is the fi rst headframe that you encounter upon entering Cobalt, and was in use until 1939. Another attraction is 24 Prospect Avenue, Cobalt the Glory Hole, which is a large, open pit on the very edge of Cobalt.

This deep clay soil was the foundation for what has come to be known as The Little Clay Belt.

photo KATHY FOLEY The First Nation people had made this region their home for thousands of years, and Lake Temiskaming and the Ottawa River were an 30 important part of the network of lakes, rivers and trails which connected their camps. Traders fi rst ventured into the region to acquire furs from the First Nation people. The land then attracted the logging companies in the 1800s, and then the farmers followed, fi nding the land rich with opportunity. By the early twentieth century, the need for improved transportation was evident, and the provincial government was petitioned by local people for the extension of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway to the area. In 1903 the train arrived. Railway men were known for their prospecting as the tracks cut their way through the wilderness, and it was PAGE this side hobby that resulted in the discovery of silver in Cobalt. NEW LISKEARD Quickly the region boomed with the newfound wealth. photo ANNIE CRIPES The agricultural community continued to grow with New Liskeard developing as a commercial 37 centre for the needs of the surrounding farm photo JOCELINE GERVAIS DUPUIS community. Haileybury also thrived as a business centre for the booming mining industry in Cobalt and Coleman Township to the south. In October, 1922, the entire region was subjected to a devastating fi re which destroyed towns, businesses, homes and hopes. The Northern determination persevered however, and many stayed and rebuilt to maintain the way of life they had come to love. Today this history is well documented in the DYMOND Haileybury Heritage Museum located on the outskirts of the town heading toward the PAGE West Road, and also at the Little Claybelt Homesteaders Museum located by “the Cow” at the north intersection of Highway 65 and Highway 11. photo KAREN McDOUGALL 40 Visitor’s Guide 2016 29 HAILEYBURY ONE of the most popular summertime places in the area is the Haileybury waterfront.

NEW LISKEARD is a dynamic mixture of past and present, old and new, current and traditional, fun and serious. One of the most outstanding features of the town is a mile of boardwalk and parkland running along the shore of Lake Temiskaming. The boardwalk is accompanied by a paved bicycle path along most of its route. There is also a marina, a boat launch, sandy beaches, covered picnic areas, a confectionary, a mini-putt, a skate park, ballparks and soccer fi elds, and a memorial statue and tribute to a young First Nation girl, Shannen Koostachin, who fought for a better school for her home community of Attawapiskat. The south section of the park is also named for the Algonquin Regiment which included many area people who went to war. The nearby Harder 4 Carter Memorial Skate Park was created in memory of photo JOCELINE GERVAIS DUPUIS Carter Antila who had a passion for the sport, and the need for the park was met photo JOCELINE GERVAIS DUPUIS by a committee headed by his parents.

New Liskeard grew up serving the farm community which now stretches out to the west, north and east of the town over that rich agricultural land, and across the provincial border into Quebec.

THE SMALL, CHARMING community of Elk Lake is a prime area to visit for nature lovers and families alike. With tons of rich history and present-day attractions, Elk Lake makes for a wonderful retreat from the normal, busy life. Stationed on the shores of the Montreal River, Elk Lake began as a small mining town following the silver boom in Cobalt in 1906. The mining scene erupted and peaked between the years 1907 and 1913, during which time there was up to thirty active mines operating in the area. There were many large stores and hotels, among other attractions and services, including a post offi ce and a hospital, and the town boasted a population of roughly 10,000 people. In the 1920s, during the prohibition era, the town housed many speakeasies and liquor trades. The area used to only be accessible by boat through the Montreal River, but that was remedied when, in 1913, the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway was built, running through the town. Presently the provincial highway, Highway 65 West, runs from nearby Temiskaming Shores to Elk Lake, offering quick and accessible transportation. Currently Elk Lake makes its living in the forestry industry, with a small planing mill coming into production in 1965. Since then it’s grown to be a full-fl edged saw and planing mill, and is still in production today. Many of the residents in Elk Lake work in, and depend on the, mill for income. In 1999, Elk Lake revealed yet another beautiful attraction -- the Elk Lake Eco Centre. The beautiful facility was a regional project designed to diversify local economy by creating a state-of-the-art training facility, new employment opportunities for the locals, and as a way to bring in more tourism to the town. The initial intent was to create an educational program meant to teach land use concepts that could be applied to the area and beyond. Presently, the Eco Centre is a multi-use facility, serving as a wilderness retreat perfect for holding conferences, meetings, and is a popular and scenic area that is perfect for a wedding. Team building exercises, youth leadership, and outdoor adventures are all activities offered through the Eco Centre. In addition to the Eco Centre facility, there is also the lodging opportunities in the chalets that are located on the property of the Centre, all just off the shore of the Montréal River, offering plentiful fi shing, boating, canoeing, and swimming opportunities for guests. There is also the Elk Lake Heritage Museum which goes over all of the town’s history for all to enjoy. History and artefacts from the mining, lumber, agriculture, and logging pasts are archived in the museum, along with histories of the area’s schools and churches, and memorabilia from both World Wars. photo BILL FOX 50 Visitor’s Guide 2016 Elk Lake offers a multitude of seasonal activities, with swimming, hiking, fi shing, and many other activities offered in the summer months – where it is not uncommon to see teenagers leaping off of the Montreal River Bridge and into the waters below as a way to keep cool in the summer heat. In addition, the town throws an annual Civic Holiday celebration, complete with activities and face painting for children and a baseball tournament held at the baseball diamond in town. Across from the baseball diamond is the children’s playground that offers many slides and swing sets for the children’s pleasure. The Elk Lake Public Beach os a lovely swimming area with shallow and deeper waters for swimming, canoeing or kayaking. In the winter, there is the annual ice fi shing derby held in the early months of the year. Skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and sliding are all popular when the ground is covered in snow. The hiking trails that are open in the summer are available as snowshoeing and skiing trails in the winter. A popular sliding and snowboarding spot is Tower Hill, located right next to the mill, where many generations have spent their weekends zipping down the monstrous hill, provided there is enough snow. There is also the community skating rink that is located across the street from the Community Centre on Third Street in town. Elk Lake has a strong sense of community at its core, and refl ects that in its response and love for everyone and the nature surrounding it. Family is a large part of the town, and you will often see that it very much has a feel of “everybody knows everybody.” It is a wonderful town with a full, expansive history and an abundance of natural attractions that would draw in most nature lovers.
