The new parks are: Silent Lake Provincial Park, 1860 acres sit- uated 13 miles north of Apsley on High- way 28. 85 campsites are available, but no motor boats will be allowed. Regular fees apply. Ferris Provincial Park, situated one mile south of Campbellford on County Road 31, has been expanded by adding 87 camp- sites, comfort stations, and boat launch ramp for access to the Trent River System. Regular fees apply. Bronte Creek Provincial Park, at the Queen Elizabeth Way and Highway 25, midway be- tween Toronto and Hamilton, will be open without charge this year for day-use and picnicking. Among its special features are a children's farm and nature hikes. Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park, near Dorion on Highway 27 about 35 miles east of Thunder Bay, provides walking trails along the canyon's edge to give visitors a spectacular view of the "Grand Canyon of Ontario." No admission charge. Additional campsites are under construc- tion at several existing provincial parks — Algonquin, Bon Echo, Killbear, Fairbank, Remi Lake and Ivanhoe.
