Kahshe Lake

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kahshe Lake is a lake situated in the Muskoka region in Ontario, Canada (just south of the town of Gravenhurst). It is one of the main cottaging lakes in the region and is the fourth largest of these lakes by area. There are approximately 600 cottages on the lake. The lake is "Tea Coloured", containing a high level of dissolved organics.

[edit] Name

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, nickname it Lake of Many Rocks. Others say the name means "Lake of Healing Waters".
