Killbear公园是一个位于加拿大安大略省Parry Sound 境内,伸向Georgian Bay内的半岛。沿着400号公路向北走到头,再转559号公路就到了。
整个半岛像似由一块儿巨大的岩石组成。美丽的岩石、秀丽的湖湾、还有迎风挺立的松柏组成了一个让人向往的度假胜地。这里是安省最著名的夏日野营之地。但是这里也是安省唯一的一种毒蛇Massasauga Rattlesnake的栖息地,所以在公园里到处都会看到“Please Brake for Snakes”的提示牌,意思是:车辆在这里要给蛇让道。
其名字的来由:
Killbear is on a peninsula. Back when the natives owned the land and would do their hunting, they would chase the bears out through the Park, and the bears would stall at the waterline - the end of the peninsula. Although they can swim, the bears would stall for just enough time so that the natives could catch up and kill them.The Ojibway natives referred to Killbear point as Mukwa naosh which translates to bear point. Someone at the time of naming confused mukwa naosh (bear point) with mukwa naoshin (bear kill) and thus the park was named Killbear.
