Meech Lake Falls Meech Lake is located within Gatineau Park in the Municipality of Chelsea, Quebec, Canada (about 20 km NW of Gatineau). The lake was named after Reverend Asa Meech, an early settler in this area. Near the lake, on Meech Creek, are the ruins of a fertilizer plant built by Thomas "Carbide" Willson during the 1900s. In 1981, Willson's former summer home (the Willson House) on Meech Lake was converted into a government conference centre. The house is notable for its use, in 1987, as the site of meetings on the Meech Lake Accord (which proposed the overhauling of Canada's constitution) between the provincial premiers and then-Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Numerous residents continue to have homes along the lake. Although all Gatineau Park master plans have long argued that properties around the lake must be acquired -- as they were for all most other lakes in the park -- little action has been taken on this front and new constructions continue to sprout along the shoreline. This unfortunate situation has led to serious problems, including the illegal construction of houses right on the lakebed and sedimentation of the lake from residential construction. The National Capital Commission (NCC), steward of Gatineau Park, operates beaches on the lake during the summer. Although it is not condoned by the NCC, there is a secluded beach often used by naturists. Thanks to ViaMoi, for all the NDF tips! Swim Lagoon, Spring Lake Park
Looking north. The water is kept clean by being recirculated and slightly chlorinated. It is warmer than the local lakes and rivers, so more comfortable for swimming. The lagoon is surrounded by picnic tables and the buildings at the far end are showers, changing rooms, rest rooms, and a concession selling food and renting kayaks for Spring Lake and inflatable toys for the lagoon. The downside is lotsa great gobs of green goose grease and the constant nagging by lifeguards on electronic megaphones of kids sitting and hanging on the buoy line. Geeezzz, you guys, just make a buoy line that kids can hang on. Yorty Creek Beach has one that is years old and in fine shape. Summer, 2010, Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, CA.
