From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Go Home Lake is a lake in west central Ontario in the Township of Georgian Bay, District of Muskoka. Loggers would meet on Go Home Lake at the end of the season to get paid and then "go home", hence the name. Go Home Lake is approximately 5 mi (8 km) long and ranges from a 1/2 to 3/4 miles (800 - 1,200 m) wide. Its length runs in a north-south orientation. The lake is fed at its most northern point by the Musquash River. The Musquash River continues at the south end of Go Home Lake and makes it way into Georgian Bay. Go Home Lake was opened up and divided into lots which were sold beginning in 1958-59. Go Home Lake is considerably more rugged and rockier than other Muskoka lakes. Both the "New Cut" (a man made channel), and the "Haunted Narrows" link the south end of the lake to the north. The "Haunted Narrows" received its name from the eerie sound caused by the movement of rocks on the bottom of the channel that can be heard in the dead of night.
