Mono Cliffs P.P. is located on 795086 3rd Line EHS, in Shelburne, ON. The park known for its beautiful rifts and valleys (caves, included) as part of the Niagara Escarpment. We visited in December 2022.
History
History
In the 1970s, the government started buying up properties in the Mono Cliffs area for the purpose of protection and recreation. The park was first opened in '85, and was most recently expanded in '95.
The town of Mono is likely named after the Spanish word for monkey.
