Earl Rowe Provincial Park

Earl Rowe Provincial Park in Adjala–Tosorontio near Alliston, Ontario, grew from farmland first purchased in 1957 through an effort led by William Earl Rowe while he was the local member of Parliament. More farmland was added before the park opened in 1964, and the 312.42-hectare site was named for Rowe, who later became Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. Part of the Ontario Parks system, the park is defined by Earl Rowe Lake, a large artificial lake formed by damming the Boyne River. With its swimming area for campers, the lake gives the park much of its identity as a recreational destination shaped by both agricultural land and planned water features.
