| McKnight Lake is 70 feet deep at the
deepest spot and drops off to a "quick" 20 foot
depth anywhere around the entire shore line of the lake,
which is all granite. The water is very clean. It offers
great swimming with no visible seaweed, and there is an
abundance of smallmouth bass already in the lake. There
are also many different fish stocking potentials because
of the cleanliness and depth of the lake's water. |

A
few years ago a herd of approximately 200 Elk were reintroduced
to Ontario and released in the Bancroft area. A number
of these Elk have settled in and around the McKnight Lake project
property and a herd of about 20 Elk were spotted along the
south shore of McKnight Lake in the early part of April, 2005.
These magnificent animals are a protected species
thus making McKnight Lake an actual wild life sanctuary! |
This Elk antler
was found by Ashley Wilson, April 18, 2005 on the McKnight Lake
project property. This antler is approximately 42" in
length which is 6" short of a world record! Presentation of
the antler is provided by Lara Cassidy.
All whitetail bucks, bull
moose and elk lose their antlers in the late fall and early
winter after the "rut", these male animals grow a larger pair
of antlers the following summer. |

The November, 2004,
whitetail deer hunting season landed three trophy whitetail
bucks within 5 - 7 miles of McKnight Lake.
There are also many moose in the general area.

Wild turkeys were extremely rare in Ontario
until the early 1980's when conservation groups made arrangements
to trade some of our moose to Michigan in exchange for
wild turkeys to be released here. In the 25 years since then,
the birds have thrived, and you can see them in many parts of
Ontario. This picture, taken in the McKnight Lake area, shows
three strutting Tom turkeys. (April 29, 2005) |
The lake is over a kilometer long and a kilometer
wide. There is an old road called the 9 Dams Road which we will
be reopening to McKnight lake, and it runs from Lingham Lake Road
which is maintained on a daily basis by the Municipality of Tweed. |

|
There is a
three-storey sheer rock cliff that rises out of a water depth
of about 30 feet on one side of the lake which could offer great
diving recreation opportunities for the "brave of
heart".

- the Developer and a friend caught smallmouth bass of various
sizes, two out of every three casts! |
|

September 15, 2004, 10 miles from McKnight
Lake, in a farmer's field, the developer with his family and friends
took 27 Canadian Geese within an hour's time in a pre-dusk shoot. |
