South Cooking Lake

This view is over the South Cooking Lake. Apparently the area under reeds was once beneath its waters. I noticed evidence of old wharfing structures 'high' up from the present water line, so would tend to believe it.

Sadly, besides receding, I understand that the waters have become polluted with industrial wastes to the extent that it is not really safe to swim in any more. At least, that is what the Camp Van Es proprietors think so they have organised an indoor pool.

Not sure whether to blame the lawyers or the factories. Maybe both?
