TOWN OF ELK LAKE ONTARIO

Elk Lake Museum - Elk Lake’s unique background goes back hundreds, perhaps thousands of years before the arrival of the European. Remnants of Pictographs on rocks showed what were clearly trade routes used by the Cree and Anishnabai people. These routes were already well established prior to the establishment of the Fur Trade of the mid 1600s. Remnants of an Aboriginal graveyard that can be seen on the south side of town perhaps a testament to the fact that Elk Lake had an early settlement on it shores.

The Ojibway tribe named the lake after the huge herds of elk that roamed the area at this time. Fur trading remained the mainstay of the region until the early nineteenth century when the strong white and red pine trees proved ideal material for masts to be used on British sailing ships, and the need for this and other lumber for construction and newspaper use saw the many stands along the Ottawa, and eventually the Montreal rivers, mass harvested by Lumber King J.R. Booth and others.
