Crawford Lake near Campbellville, Ontario is a conservation area owned and operated by the Halton Region Conservation Authority. The lake itself is meromictic which has allowed archaeologists to drill core samples of pollen dating back hundreds of years to learn about the agricultural history of the native Iroquois Indians. A Wendat village has been painstakingly reconstructed in the conservation area based on many years of work by archaeologists.
