Kirkland Lake – On the Mile of Gold
For over 100 years, the community of Kirkland Lake has held a deep connection to the discovery of gold and the mining of this precious ore.
The stories of those who made this community their home are found everywhere you look – a mine headframe, statues and memorials, a mine owner’s mansion, and even a rehabilitated tailings pond.
Come for a visit and create your own story along the Mile of Gold!
