Bon Echo Treasure Legend Lures Seekers Along Mazinaw
The Bon Echo area in Ontario’s Highlands is famed for a romance of lost silver supposedly hidden in a cliff cave above Mazinaw Lake. Tales trace the cache from John Myers and Indians to später seekers like Merrill, Bull, Van Asselstein, and the duo Sills and Scott, who spent years and money chasing the phantom treasure. The region remains a popular holiday spot with a storied past and a short drive from Kaladar on the Montreal Toronto line.
