Roche de Bout

The Roche de Bout is a big rock known as a landmark for early explorers and natives. It is used as one of the supports for the now abandoned Interurban Bridge. At one time, the Interurban Bridge, which crosses the river at the park, was the largest bridge that was filled with earth and reinforced by concrete.
