Laniel is a small hamlet located about 20 minutes drive from the Park and sits at the outflow of Lake Kipawa where Route 101 crosses the Kipawa River. There was a spot to park and they had some really cool wall murals in the big parking lot. You can also park and take a trail down to the river.

We also spent some time the town of Temiskaming (90 minutes drive) and had lunch at Tem Rose, nice place. Temiskaming also has a museum, $5 each to get in. It does not take very long to walk through but it was interesting and just at the other side of the parking lot was a lovely trail that we walked, even though it was raining.

Well worth the walk! So next up, Part 3 where we spent a few hours at Obadjiwan–Fort Témiscamingue National Historic Site.
See you soon….

Yes, my Michigan hometown is small and cute but sadly becoming very populated as the decades have gone by.

Your beautiful photos, of the river, remind me of Ashland, Oregon. I love visiting places where rivers flow through the city or town. Lots of stairs, yes! 😫😆

I did love Oregon when we were there. I’m trying to remember if we went to Ashland. I’ll have to check my diary!

The flowing river in your post looks more powerful, but the scene reminded me of Ashland – another gorgeous place!
