Description From Owner:

Lac la Hache - Means 'Axe Lake.' Interviewing in 1946 a great-granddaughter of Peter Skene Ogden, the famous HBC Chief Factor, we were told that, after a mule with a load of hatchets fell into the lake (possibly through the ice),
it became known as Lac la Hache. Confirmation is supplied by an 1871 entry in the diary of GSA. Sargison in the Provincial Archives: 'Derives its name from the Hudson's Bay Company having lost a lot of axes loaded on an animal.'
Timothy Lake - Takes its name from adjacent Timothy Mountain, noted for the wild timothy hay on its slopes.
