This
lake study was completed after two years
and is available on the web site set up
by the KLRA. This study includes a series
of maps of the lake which designate specific
aspects such as sensitive areas, lots,
publicly owned areas, etc. Other lake
associations are welcome to visit this
site, read the study and look at the maps.
A discussion forum allows for questions
to be asked. Dr. Norman Bethune was born
in Gravenhurst and his family's home there
has been preserved as a Canadian National
Historic Site. Gravenhurst was named after
a village in England which is mentioned
in Washington Irving's Bracebridge Hall.
Gravenhurst is the home port of the RMS
Segwun, the oldest vessel powered by a
working steam engine in North America.
Gravenhurst also declares itself the "Gateway
to the Muskoka Lakes" and has a large
gate bearing this message hanging over
Muskoka District Road 169, the main road
leading into town from Highway 11.
