Spring paddle on the Salmon River
This stream is only 75 m. long, it pours out of the hill side right in front of you.

This means STOP in Mohawk language. These are located on side roads, the main road is in English, see the one by the car. Airport Road is built on the former Canadian Northern Railway bed built in 1912.
The Richmond land fill site is now closed, but busy. Four universities are researching here. The chimney burns off the natural gas that the garbage generates.
Christ Church, Anglican, was built in 1843 to replace the original log chapel built in 1794. It was built for the Mohawks who arrived from New York state as friends and allies of the British who were also refugees after the American Revolution. Queen Ann of England donated the Communion Plate in 1812, and King George III donated the a triptych, a bell and Royal Coat of Arms. In 1904 King Edward VII gave the title "His Majesty's Chapel". This allegiance is evident from the flags out front.
Presbyterian Church, the Redeemer. Built by the Rathburn family of Deseronto in 1877 after a devastating fire that destroyed much of the town. The Rathburns owned a large lumber business, then built the Bay of Quinte Railway to Tamworth, Tweed and Bannockburn. They operated a large cement works at Marlbank and some manufacturing. The railway industry grew in the 1880's and was sold to the Canadian Northern Railway in 1914.

The landing place for about 120 Mohawks natives from New York state in 1784 as they fled the USA with their friends and allies, the British soldiers and United Empire Loyalists. Check out their church, 1.2 km. NNW of here.
United Church, originall a Wesleyan Methodist church, built 1877 of local brick.
A lot of rock was excavated here to lower the grade and build the road along the Salmon River at the bottom of the hill.
