1. Scugog Abandoned Gas Station

Pass this gas station every time I go to Port Perry, it's been closed for as long as I can remember. Couldn't find much else on it

2. Great Caesar's Ghost

The Caesar family of settlers moved to this area in 1836, hence to name Caesarea for the local community. They along with many of their early pioneering friends are calmly resting in this forgotten cemetery, although there are some who claim it to be haunted, so perhaps, even after all these years, they are not resting in peace. Perhaps they are upset with the condition of the graves and the markers. Overgrown and tumbling over would be a good way to describe the gravestones found here. Some are in good shape, others are difficult to find in the underbrush. Park along the west side of Highway 7A and hike up the trail into the quiet peace of the past. Bring bug spray.

Names of those families buried here are: Grexton, Latanville, Watson, Vincen, Fraver, Taylor, Atkins, Wesley, and of course Caesar. There are many stones where the names could not be deciphered, and no public record seems to exist to list the names of who may be buried here. Tread carefully, watch for ghosts, leave in good spirits.

3. Scovill Cemetery

Resting place of some of Scugog's earliest pioneers and settlers. Most burials date back to the 1800s and into the early 1900s. The grounds are not maintained, the grass is left to grow. Many of the stones are damaged or have fallen over. The ground is very uneven for walking, watch your step. Abandoned in every sense of the word. To get here you have to walk a path through a field and into a small copse of trees. You cannot see the cemetery from the road. Unless you have prior knowledge (like the coordinates found here) you would never stumble across this ancient burial ground.
