History of Kennisis Lake
Kennisis Lake feels like an oasis, but long ago, it was a hidden one.
There were little opportunities to grow anything in the area, and getting in and out of the area was extremely difficult, so it remained untouched until the 1940s when a road was finally built allowing access to the area.
Now, eighty years later, dependable roads and snow removal has allowed the cottage community to flourish for those lucky enough to call Kennisis Lake their home.
