Secrets of the Lake is a collection of stories and photographs that trace the history of Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching. A popular destination for cottagers and pleasure-seekers today, these lakes were once part of the essential inland waterway the opened up the region and North American interior to waves of Indians and explorers, fur traders and soldiers, settlers and entrepreneurs who carved out an existence in the unspoiled wilderness. This fascinating evolution from strategic waterway to tranquil pleasure ground is told by visiting places where the past still resonates --historic communities, shipwrecks, overgrown graveyards, and grand mansions. Divided into five sections, the book includes over 100 stories and 200 archival photographs from sites all around the lake.
