You will be finding the junction where the K & P Railway intersected the J.R. Booth Railway and town streets forming the shape of a diamond – thus the
railway stop was called “The Diamond Junction”.
Clear cylinder Tupperware originally containing: Log Book, pencil & sharpener,
tonka toy, key chain, whistle, flag tattoos, Canada pin, Small pocket knife & nail file, stickers.
This cache is located inside the gate (no cars, trucks or automobiles allowed on north section of the trail). Large parking area at the gate.
The K & P Trail is the abandoned bed of the Kingston to Pembroke Railway (The K & P) and was converted to a recreational trail many years ago. From Renfrew to Calabogie (the North K & P), you can easily hike or bicycle (no hills!!!) or ride an ATV. Since the K & P never did reach Pembroke, because the Canada Central Railway beat them to it, the line should be called the K & R but then we would not now be able to enjoy its nickname, the Kick ‘n Push.
Find the junction where the K & P and JR Booth Railway Lines met.
Interesting Tidbits :
• M. J. O’Brien of Renfrew was the contractor who built the last section of the railway coming from the south, through Calabogie to Renfrew.
• The cost to travel from one station to the next was once 5 cents.
• Renfrew is named after Renfrew in Scotland.
• The first immigrants probably settled here around 1823.
• Lumber was king; many men became wealthy lumber barons and used their money to develop the area, including Senator M.J. O’Brien.
From this site you are a short walk into town and MaTeWay Park where you will find recreation complex including public restrooms, water, vending machines, telephone,
water splash park, ball diamonds, ice skating, etc.
