It can also be accessed from the surrounding road. Apparently this area was used to test ammunitions? Hopefully some people can give better details as to its exact use. It's cool. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Here's a quick video of the place too. http://youtu.be/F89ZYKj1ASA Freaktography  Location: Burlington Ontario Gender: Male Freaktography  |  |  Re: The Giant Wall in the Wood <Reply # 1 on 9/6/2012 1:22 PM >   was the boat in the woods in the same woods as the wall in the woods? maybe this used to be waterworld in the woods?

The boat was actually quite a distance from this spot, totally different forest. Alpha67   |  Re: The Giant Wall in the Wood <Reply # 3 on 9/6/2012 5:03 PM >   Strange find. Could it have been for climbing over also?

He was a lineman for Thunder Bay Hydro and called to this neighbourhood for some job. The crew spotted the wall, according to my dad, an old guy that lived nearby told him the wall was used by an ammunitions factory nearby to test the trajectory of guns and cannons. I can't find anything online to back up that story. The 1914 Starch Factory was used to build ammunitions in the 40s and it is located over on McKellar island - sorta nearby. This location was also the first settlement in Thunder Bay - the original site of the Northwest Company's trading post, Fort William. But this wall had rebar, which dates it at 1849 at the earliest, by then the original Fort was largely abandoned and would be demolished completely by 1920 for the CN rail yard.
