Algonuin Park - Named Lake Challenge


Most canoers to Algonquin Park are familiar with the fine map made by Jeffrey McMurtrie. If not you should go and visit his www.algonquinmap.com site now.

What is not as widely known is that people that befriend Jeffrey sometimes get a currently unnamed lake in Algonquin Park named after them, unofficially. Over the last few years this has grown into a nice collection of out of the way lakes.

And thus the Algonquin Park - Named Lake Challenge, AP-NLC for short, was created.

 

AP-NLC Rules

1. You have to go to the Named Lake.
2. I have to believe you have been to the Named Lake.
3. You should drink a toast to the person who's lake it is.
     (Toasting with an alcoholic beverage is optional. However, El Dorado rum is recommended.)
4. I make up all the Rules and am the Sole Arbitrator of Disputes.
