The Still River Truck Stop was a combination gas bar, garage and restaurant. The restaurant stools give the location a look that you might find in an old movie. At the leftmost of the building you will find the garage containing old licence plates and assorted equipment. Next is the restaurant where you(a)ll find plates sitting on the counter as if they were just placed there by the waitress. There(a)s a Bell payphone in the main entrance which was never removed by the phone company. Next to the lobby is a living area with a large screen television set, couch, and magazines. Another room contains a bedroom and dresser. Information submitted by cdsleep@gmail.com: I grew up on the other side of Hwy 69 at the OPP station, it was always called the Deerhorn back then. I knew three of the owners under that name: Fred & Margaret Henry; Fred & Shirley Stoerig; and Ernie Courvoisier (might have Ernie(a)s name spelled wrong). During the sixties and seventies, the Deerhorn was always jam-packed with trucks. It(a)s sad to see that it has been abandoned, but it was in a difficult spot to develop modern amenities, being squeezed between the highway and the railway tracks as it is.
