Abstract(Summary)
The surprising appearance of flat and fertile farmland at New Liskeard as you drive north on Highway 11 may cause you to think that you are in southern Ontario. Rugged Canadian Shield landscape is replaced by flat land and agriculture of the 'Little Clay Belt'. The city of Temiskaming Shores, which includes the towns of New Liskeard and Haileybury, lies adjacent to this distinctive, out-of-place landscape and has a unique geology for you to explore. This GeoTour guide highlights the geology at a popular viewpoint, 2 parks on Lake Timiskaming, and a remarkable rock garden. Collectively, these sites tell us about a dynamic rift valley with faults and earthquakes, a modern search for diamonds, and rocks with fossils from an ancient seafloor.
