Silver Queen Mine restored miner’s bunkhouse

I drove 4hrs there and 4 hours back home JUST to see this mine tour! The drive alone is so beautiful but the approximately 2km hike made the experience completely worth it! The landscape comes alive, sparkling away as you get closer to the mine. The mine itself is small but the cool air is refreshing and you can visually see a bunch of rock formations. Big thank you to my guide Peter who made the experience informative and fun!

Amazing site! Great tour with knowledgeable staff that weren't stump with any question that the children had

Highly recommend going here. Take a flash light or use your phone so you can see the fossils inside the cave. Take running shoes as some areas are slippery.

A short trail walk to visit a piece of history. The Mica mines are not accessible too bad but I mist say that the place is worth a wander. The trail there is broad gravel. Hot. Take the beaver trail back. It’s nicer. All in all, plan to spend an an hour here. Couple it with a visit to the Point trail at Murphy’s Point provincial park and it’s a day trip from Ottawa worth doing.

What an amazing piece of history. Mark does a fantastic job of explaining everything. I was fascinated by the mine and how cold it was.

Pretty cool spot not to far from Ottawa to check out. Lots of history here, and tons of pieces of mica.

Great place to step back in time. A little slippery getting down into the mine, so hold on to the little one's hands!

Looks ok. It takes longer to walk from the parking lot to the mine than the actual mine tour.

What a great item to add to your camping adventure! tons of fun for the kids.

Nice short walk to see an old mine and some history
