Crane Lake Swimmers in CottageLife!

You may remember our heroic Perimeter Swimmers from past newsletters, but now they've made the big-time! After setting the goal in 2014, these ladies accomplished their swim of the entire perimeter of Crane Lake in August of 2017 and Cottage Life Magazine was there to capture the fun. The first trio to complete the swim, Tory McMahon, Judy Smith and Monica Gemeinhardt, swam for 30 hours, with 38 swims of about 43.5km in total. 

You can read all about their adventures in the current edition of Cottage Life Magazine!

Fish Netting on Crane Lake

Crane Lake has been chosen by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry as the site for their project monitoring fisheries in Ontario’s inland lakes. Throughout May & June there will MNRF staff on Crane Lake almost every weekday as they set out the fish nets and tag the fish. The fish nets will be very visible and are mobile.

Fire Safety - AEDs on Crane Lake

As a member of the Crane Lake Association, you are likely aware of the 5 Fire pumps spread around the lake (6 including the one on the Fire Boat) which are available for cottagers to use in an emergency.

Did you also know that along with each fire pump there is a portable AED? What’s an AED you may ask?
