Description From Owner:

Parsnip River - R.M. Patterson mentions the 'almost tropical growth of the giant cow parsnip from which the river gets its name.'
He found this plant growing up to seven feet and says that 'the din of the rain on the huge leaves was like the rush of a tremendous wind' (Finlay's River, p. 38).
The plant is sometimes called Indian Rhubarb since the Indians eat the petioles or leaf stalks.
Peculiar Lake - What makes this lake peculiar is a very long spit extending down the centre of the lake that almost makes it look like two parallel lakes.
Weedon Creek - After Flight Lieutenant Weedon of the RCAF, engaged in the PGE'S reconnaissance survey of 1929.
