Large rock formation jutting out over Lake Temiskaming on the deepest part of the lake, close to Bucke Park and other campgrounds. If you want a good view of the lake and surrounding area, it's a must-see.
Maintained by Chris Oslund, the museum contains an extensive collection of historical objects in relation to the town including old street cars which used to run in between Haileybury and Cobalt. Visitors will find out many interesting facts about Haileybury here such as the fact that it was the former home of the Montreal Canadiens when Haileybury and Cobalt each had a National Hockey League team.
Alongside the waterfront in Haileybury, there is an enclosed area which includes a layout of docks, well-sanded beach, with a giant mushroom spraying water and three parks nearby for small children, and a much larger water slide similar to those in hotels on the far side of the beach. The beach and the amenities are free to everyone.
Most towns in Northern Ontario make the arena their community centre whether official or not, as is the case for Haileybury, New Liskeard and Dymond. The nearest to professional hockey to be seen played in Temiskaming can be witnessed at the New Liskeard arena. Events such as commemorative matches are fairly frequent so it is good to find out in advance what is going on at the arena when you plan to travel.
Most people accustomed to the conventional multiplex cinemas of larger urban centres will find the theatre in downtown New Liskeard a bit of an oddity. However, it makes for an interesting activity to break up the itinerary. Usually the theatre plays contemporary films, however it also unveils local films as well, and in the summer it holds over certain films and is capable of reducing ticket costs on both old and new releases to a $5 matinee, with the inclusion of a free drink.
The largest residential house in Canada, its construction began in 2005, though it was never completed. Today, it is abandoned in a semi-ruined state. It is private property, so visiting here is trespassing. Quiet daytime exploration shouldn't attract the ire of the police..
