Huldah’s Rock, Pelee Island, Ontario

October 12th, 2007 · No Comments

There’s still time to make it over to Pelee Island this year. The boat keeps running until December 15th but the sooner you get there the sooner you get to see the sights — like Hulda’s Rock.

There is a legend that tells the story of the Rock.

Taken from the Pelee Island website:

An Indian Legend Of 1783
An Indian maiden, Huldah, plunged to her death in sorrow over her English husband’s broken vow to return to her.
The waves that foam and surge around the grave stone are said to chant her name for eternity. Time and the ravages of ice and water have decreased the rock to a fraction of it’s original size.

Please respect this private property. it is located on the northwest shore of Pelee Island at Sheridan Point.

I’m a bit skeptical because the rock is barely above water level — though maybe the water levels (and sea bed levels) were a lot lower back in 1783.
