Episode 48:Lake Opeongo PT3 (1925-Present)

Episode 48:Lake Opeongo PT3 (Leaseholding 1925-Present) In this last of 3 Lake Opeongo episodes, my focus is now on leaseholding activities on  Lake Opeongo beginning about 1925 including a detailed history of Opeongo Lodge,  the life and times of John Bates (Opeongo's only private leaseholder), Lake Opeongo tragedies and few of my own Lake Opeongo musings.  Much of the content comes from a now out-of-print 1998 book by S. Bernard Shaw, called Lake Opeongo:  Untold Stories of Algonquin Park’s Largest Lake. Other references include: Algonquin Park: A Place Like No Other by Roderick MacKay - 2018 Spirits of the Little Bonnechère by Roderick MacKay 2016 2nd edition Algonquin Story by Audrey Saunders 1946 Protected Places: A History of Ontario’s Provincial Park System by Gerald Killan 1993 Nick’s Story Pique Magazine by Robin Nish 2011 This musical interlude is called Thunder Spirit and comes from Dan Gibson’s 2013 Solitudes CD of the same name.
