Pike Creek, Ontario

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pike Creek is a rural area in current day Lakeshore, aptly named so after the creek that runs through it. It consists of mainly residential, oversized estate lots, with a few established businesses. During recent years, the quality of life around Pike Creek has diminshed somewhat, as it's tranquil setting is challenged by the encroachment of industry and development on all sides. Municipal title to the land was somewhat unclear for this area prior to the creation of Lakeshore, in 1999.

The area itself is unique in that it has existed as a residential establishment for some time, with a low degree of outside settlement. Many of the residents on the two roads that wind with the creek are related and have lived there their entire life. Notable family names include Campeau, Ruggaber and Wilder.
