Lake Scugog
Lake Scugog
is a lake in
Scugog Township
near the town of
Port Perry, Ontario
. The lake has an area of
514 km
with an average depth of 1.3 m. The lake is fed by the
Nonquon
and
Layton Rivers
and drained by the
Scugog River
. The lake was formed when William Purdy dammed the Scugog River at
Lindsay, Ontario
in
1834
to power his
grist mill
. The new lake was originally very unpopular with the local residents; its formation also destroyed the
wild rice
stands and
cranberries
harvested by the native
Mississaugas
. Today, the lake is used for
fishing
and recreational
boating
. The lake is surrounded by
swamps
and
marshes
which provide habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife. The name "Scugog" is an
Ojibwe
word meaning "marshy waters". Scugog, Lake
