Kiosk, Ontario

Kiosk, Ontario

.

The name "Kiosk" is an abbreviated form of the lake's name, which means "lake of many gulls". Kiosk was a station on the Canadian National Railway. Up until a fire in July 1973, a lumber company operated there. However, new regulations in the park area prohibited its rebuilding.

The community was demolished in the 1980s and the railway since removed, it is now no more than a recreational area and automobile access point (#29) to the interior of Algonquin Park.
