One of the name beautiful scenes and lookouts on Canadian Scenic Highway No. 401. The Thousand Islands International Bridge in the background.
–Such shoulder stopping places were common on highways in the mid-20th century, as traffic volumes were lower as well as speeds. They were eliminated on the later Interstate Highways in favor of formal vista points and rest stops to separate traffic from parked cars and pedestrians.
This image likely dates from the 1950s.
