Water Valley

For all of you who have traveled past Exit 124 in Ontario on the 401, you may have noticed the oddity of a metropolis of RV’s and trailers surrounded by a tall fence. Curiosity is usually piqued, and questions may be asked, but they never seem to get answered. Well, Water Valley, a place that houses some 4,000 people, has one of the most interesting stories you will ever hear.
Water Valley was founded in the late 1960s by a man named Leslie Frost. Frost was a doctor who had a vision of creating a community where people could live in harmony with nature. He purchased a large tract of land in rural Ontario and began to develop his dream. Water Valley was designed to be a self-sustaining community, with its own water supply, sewage system, and even a farm. Frost also built a number of homes and businesses in Water Valley, and he encouraged people to move there and live the simple life.
In the early days, Water Valley was a thriving community. People came from all over to live in this unique place. However, over time, Water Valley began to experience some financial difficulties. The farm was not as productive as Frost had hoped, and the community was not able to generate enough revenue to cover its expenses. As a result, Water Valley went into receivership in the early 1980s.
In 1983, Water Valley was purchased by a group of investors who had a different vision for the community. They wanted to turn Water Valley into a resort town, and they began to build a number of new homes and businesses. However, the resort town never really took off, and Water Valley continued to struggle financially. In 1996, Water Valley was once again purchased by a new group of investors. This group had a more realistic vision for the community, and they began to focus on developing Water Valley as a residential community.
Today, Water Valley is a thriving community once again. It is home to a diverse population of people who enjoy the peace and tranquility of the countryside. Water Valley is also a popular destination for tourists who are looking for a unique and affordable place to stay. The community is home to a number of bed and breakfasts, and there are also a number of restaurants and shops in the area.
