Top 5 Must See Things in Dryden

Max the Moose

Dryden Tourist Information Centre

Max the Moose has been proudly representing Dryden since his July 1962 arrival. He stands in honour of his ancestors, cousins and friends of the wildnerness. Though not the largest Moose in the world, Max is the oldest! This burly beast, with head raised, captures the spirit of Sunset Country. Be sure to stop by and get your photo with Max. 

The Dryden Tree

Earl Ave & Duke St

The Duke Street Dock offers a prime spot to dock your boat and explore Dryden's shops and restaurants just steps away. It boasts a scenic river view and is home to The Dryden Tree, a striking metal structure by George Marchiorello and Tom Stratton. Symbolizing Dryden's forestry heritage, the tree stands on a granite base with bronze plaques detailing local history from 1670 to 1988. A time capsule, placed within the bse by Dryden High School students, is set to be opened in 2088. 

Pieces of Dryden

Johnston Park

Pieces of Dryden is a stunning mosaic sculpture made from over 8,000 donated pieces of mirrors, pottery and tiles. Created by local artists and volunteers, its flowing design represents the four elements - earth, air, fire, and water. The sun and moon shine in shimmering glass, while dark tiles symbolize the surrounding forests. Benches reflect the four seasons and directions, inviting visitors to pause and reflect. This striking landmark embodies community spirit and the beauty of Dryden's natural landscape.
