The Awenda Camp Shoe Tree
Photographed by Payam Rajabi of Mississauga, Ontario

This tree near Awenda Camp Resort in Ontario, Canada, is impressive in height, making it tough to attach shoes by the traditional tied-shoelace-over-branch method. But hey, that's when a few nails can come in handy!

Closeup of shoes attached by nail -- most, we're glad to note, are pairs. The tree is located just outside Awenda Provincial Park near Penetanguishene, Ontario.


Update March 9, 2025 (RTA): After extensive research, using Canadian and USA mapping resources, we are no longer able to find this sign. So, this page is really a historical record of what used to be found at this location. The RTA map is provided for further research. If you go to this location, in person, and find it again, we would love to hear from you! Please let us know and we’ll update this page.
