Basslake
is a lake at the center of Bass Lake park,
a farm for more than 100 years. The park
contains Waterview Trail, and it is a
popular spot for swimming, hiking, fishing
and boating. Its fields and trails are
popular for skiing and snowshoeing in
winter. Located in an area called Huronia,
Bass Lake is near the city of Orillia
Orillia (2004 population 32,692) is a
city located in Simcoe County in south-central
Ontario, Canada, on Lake Couchiching,
where it flows from Lake Simcoe towards
Georgian Bay (Lake Huron). The Village
of Orillia was incorporated in 1867 (sharing
the same birthyear as Canada), became
a town in 1875, and was designated a city
in 1969. The City of Orillia is located
on the shores of two lakes: Lake Simcoe
and Lake Couchiching. From Lake Couchiching
one can connect with the Trent-Severn
Waterway, through three locks and the
only marine railway in North America,
which leads to Georgian Bay on Lake Huron.
Travel in the other directions leads across
Lake Simcoe and into Lake Ontario.
