  "summary": "Mazinaw Rock cliff and lake horizons — Ontario RASC-designated dark-sky viewing area.",
  "intro": "Bon Echo Provincial Park, on the Canadian Shield in eastern Ontario, is best known by day for the towering Mazinaw Rock pictographs — but after dark the same shield granite and low regional population keep the sky impressively clear. It's a manageable drive from Toronto or Ottawa for a weekend of camping and stargazing.",

  "highlights": [
    "Canadian Shield granite terrain with low surrounding population",
    "Mazinaw Lake and its cliffs offer a dramatic daytime-to-nighttime transition",
    "Large, well-serviced campground network for multi-night stays"
  ],

    "Reserve campsites well ahead for peak summer weekends"
  ],
  "whatToSee": "Milky Way over Mazinaw Lake, and reliable meteor shower viewing from open beach areas.",
