Gravenhurst, Ontario Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Gravenhurst (2001 population 10,899) is a town in the Muskoka Region of Ontario, Canada. It is located approximately 15 kilometres south of Bracebridge, Ontario.The Town of Gravenhurst includes a large area of the District of Muskoka, known to Ontarians as "cottage country." The town centre borders on two lakes: Lake Muskoka, which is the largest lake in the Region, and Gull Lake, a smaller cottage-bordered lake.
About ten kilometers to the south of town centre lies a medium-sized body of water called Kahshe Lake. The name came from the Indian designation Kah-she-she-bog-a-mog, which, according to one source, means Lake of Many Ducks and Birds. Other people swear that it means Lake of Many Islands. Yet others, especially those with powerful motor boats, swear at Lake of Many Rocks.
Three years ago the Kahshe Lake Ratepayers Association (KLRA) combined with another lake association to form a committee designed to study the natural and social environment of the lake and the area around it and to make recommendations on how to preserve the quality of life for residents on and around this lake.
This lake study was completed after two years and is available on the web site set up by the KLRA at http://www.kahshelake.ca
This study includes a series of maps of the lake which designate specific aspects such as sensitive areas, lots, publicly owned areas, etc.
Other lake associations are welcome to visit this site, read the study and look at the maps. A discussion forum allows for questions to be asked.
