Uno Park

The first settlers who arrived in the area had to undertake a gruelling steamboat journey from the foot of Lake Temiskaming to the new 'Wabi Settlement', known today as New Liskeard. From this point on settlers boarded smaller boats or scows and travelled 10 kilometres up Wabi Creek to a bend on the Harley-Dymond Township line. The first pioneers who arrived in the area were the Hebert Taylor family in 1895. Another early pioneer was Richard Parker who arrived in 1897 from Durham County. Parker had established a homestead just west of the small landing from where his family had disembarked.
