Kagawong "where
mists rise from the falling water"
is the Ojibwe name for this North Channel community. |
|
|
In the
coolness of the early morning, mists rising over the tree tops mark
the path of the Kagawong River as it cascades over Bridal Veil
Falls and winds its way into the North Channel of Georgian Bay on Lake
Huron, Ontario, Canada.

To find the historic village of Kagawong, leave Hwy.
540 where
the road turns sharply at the Billings Co. Store and follow the
nineteenth century street lamps that provide appropriate entry.
The main street of the village, in the business section below the
hill, presents a well-preserved picture of turn-of-the-century
architecture. A lighthouse, hotel, mill and many century-old
homes are reminders of Kagawong's early days as a timber and fishing
center.
Fishing continues to be
an important activity in Kagawong. Splake, small mouth bass,
northern pike, salmon, perch and whitefish make Kagawong a fisherman's
paradise. Kagawong is also famous for its bountiful early spring smelt
run.
