Al Capone his Final Secret Hideout!
During a rainy weekend of camping we wanted to search the area around the Barry's Bay to get out of the camp area and do some exploring. Stopping by an information booth we read an article about Al Capone and he resided in this area?
Finding the area of this allusive hideout we visited a nearby village and began to search.
After talking to a few locals of the where about, then to go here and there getting lost for hours we found it! Since its on Private Property and we did get caught trespassing. After a while we got permission to video and photograph the outside and interior of this hideout. The property owner did confirm that it was once Al Capone's Cabin/lodge.
The cabin is very long and main room has this magnificent fireplace. I can imagine seeing Al and his Gangsters sitting around and planning their next venture. From research after I found out that Al Capone did reside in this cabin after he went to jail in Alcatraz and other prisons. He came up to Canada for some reason probably just to hide out. The area of the cabin is on a side of a hill and at that time probably no other homes or cabins around. The nearby village is very small and middle of
nowhere too. The general store does have an display of Al Capone so more proof he resided in the area.
From the video you can see us venture inside. The rooms have been lived in and party in over the years but are in fairly good shape but some holes in floor. I wasn't sure if safe so we didn't venture to far and our flash lights not the greatest. In the kitchen floor is a trap door going into the basement. Supposedly their is an escape tunnel leading away from the cabin. The windows are made lower to the floor for also an easy escape. Reading about this cabin and people who knew Al Capone he did
have many visitors and was a hangout for parties.
So enjoy the video and leave some questions if you like.
