 As the lake developed as a tourist attraction in its own right, and as a feeder lake within the wider catchment that supports the Trent-Severn Waterway, fish species such as muskellunge, walleye, rock bass, and perch were also introduced from approximately the 1920s.More recently, Black Crappie have been introduced and are a primary target for summer and winter fisherman.Ongoing provincial and federally supported environmental stewardship and related work experience initiatives occur on the lake from year to year.
