White Lake Provincial Park is a park in Ontario, Canada, along Highway 17, north of Lake Superior.
The park includes portions of the shore of White Lake with sandy beaches and marshes. Once a rich source of furs and lumber, now it offers natural treasures such as orchids and bogs with insect-eating plants.
Famous quotes containing the words white, lake, provincial and/or park:
“The white heat of the technological revolution.”
—Harold Wilson, Lord Riveaulx (1916–1995)
“Such were the first rude beginnings of a town. They spoke of the practicability of a winter road to the Moosehead Carry, which would not cost much, and would connect them with steam and staging and all the busy world. I almost doubted if the lake would be there,—the self-same lake,—preserve its form and identity, when the shores should be cleared and settled; as if these lakes and streams which explorers report never awaited the advent of the citizen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The divinity in man is the true vestal fire of the temple which is never permitted to go out, but burns as steadily and with as pure a flame on the obscure provincial altar as in Numa’s temple at Rome.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
—Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)
