CN Rock Pile

Nice place for beginners and kids…

Fun little place to dig up some stones and things, not knowing what you'll get. It's great that it's free!

Not-So Truly Breathtaking Pile of 'Minerals'...Still, our grown-up kids found this activity entertaining enough (digging for minerals and tiny crystals embedded in rocks) that it made this a worthwhile visit. After all, it's free of charge. However in the end my youngest one (and even my wife who dislikes getting dirty) found several real gems hidden on that pile of rocks. Myself scooped a full bag of these rocks for my garden back in Ottawa. We stopped by from that wonderful trip across The Bruce Peninsula road trip back in Aug 2022.

If hunting for rocks is what your in bancroft for, stop here. A small walk down the path, will lead you to this rock pile. Although its mostly mica, it is still a nice stop

Great spot to see city from above. The cost is worth it for the views. Highly recommend the sky walk. Spent a couple hours looking around at the top. Fun to see famous spots in the city from the sky. The food was good had to look around a little for it.

Truly breathtaking pile of rocks!!! More impressive than the pyramids of giza and on par with Niagara Falls. Top 3 locations in Canada, ney, the world! Be careful because if you throw the rocks, they explode on impact. However, this was the best place for rock throwing. Very affordable! Works great as I'm 2/3 for proposals here. The number of rocks is above average. Various sizes, shapes, and colours of rocks. Lost track of time here. 15 hours goes by really quick. Great spot for camping under the stars! Some locals say, with careful searching, if you bring a pick axe and shovel you may find rocks. Great spot to cool off on a sunny afternoon. Great service, highly recommend!

A little hard to find at first. Go to the parking lot of the harvest moon whole foods (big mill-like building with 33 station st written on it). And either walk or drive down the narrow dirt road for about 200 m. The rock pile will be on your right behind some trees.

This is a fun free spot to take the kids and dig through gems". You'll head home with a few rocks and lot of discussion about colours

great for young children. the material should be rolled over

Good place for kids. Very very picked out though. Won't find much of anything except the same 2 minerals no matter how long you look for.
