Hwy 522 Houses

After reading through the Visitor Stories section on this site i found one that interested me.

It described a dirt road 1/2 km from the Grundy Lake Provincial Park entrance, leading to 6 abandoned houses. I(a)ve been in the area before but never went past the G.L. entrance. So i decided to go check it out. As it turns out, all the houses have been torn down. There was an interesting plaque on a rock tho. From Google maps satellite view, you can see the 6 houses.

Here is part of the post from the Visitor Stories section: "If you go down the road you come to a small community of 4 - 6 houses. All seem relatively new ie. 20yrs old or so. There is a street with street lamps. The houses are boarded up but broken into by vandals."

Information about why the houses would have been abandoned would be very interesting to know.
