Saw several like this swimming in the Mirror Lakes.

Small world.......do you remember the old locks where the lock master would let the kids jump into the Amhic side of the locks when draining the water out of the locks? The Schmelher (I know I butchered the name) but it was an old school tavern that burned down. Had a family cottage on Maple island and frequented the area as kids and now we vacation there for a week a year Bubba14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Yes , small world , I used to fish the Wahwashkesh area summer and winter . My wife's family owned at cottage at Artbeg and we both knew where to buy a nice apple pie at Haywards or some great cheese at Dunchurch. My cousin had a cottage very close to Bennet's lodge and marina . At the end of the "bunny trail" we stopped to get our spring water . Some may remember the Hand family who flew there from St.Catharines but crashed their pontoon plane at Martindale pond . Their son Doug , a fellow worker took over the cottage . Fishing was great for eyes , pike, bass and lake trout & the odd ling. Bubba14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba14 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Yes, the Schmeler House burned but they rebuilt it and it is now a restaurant and small grocery store. It is a beautiful area that is still home to my father-in-law and my hunt camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trip here as kids meant coming our with a new lure and an ice cream from the shop to the left of the store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba14 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 How about a "Downtown Magnetawan" sweatshirt? That store was owned by the Raaflaub family.I went to school with some of the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
