Bennet's Bay Lake Access and Parking
An ad hoc committee established after the 2010 Annual General Meeting looked at improving parking at Bennet's Bay. The committee recommends expanding the current parking area to include a new 30 by 100 metre parking area that would allow room for up to 60 more vehicles. In addition, the current dock permit will be replaced by a lake access and parking permit. We need approval from the Association's Executive, the Municipality of Whitestone, and the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), which we hope to have in hand by summer 2011.

Hayward Point
We are asking for your support to rename Pine Ridge Point to Hayward Point, in honour of Jean and Ken Hayward, long time residents of Lake Wahwashkesh. In order to support our application to the Georgraphic Naming Board, we need to show strong support for local usage of the term Hayward's Point over the offical name of Pine Ridge Point. Please return the form sent with the last President's Letter or e-mail Don Comrie with your support for local usage of the name Hayward Point.
Water Monitoring Station
On August 26, the Lake Wahwahskesh monitoring station , which provides real time daily data on the lake's water level, is up and running again! Thanks to Don and George for their hard work replacing the old unit.
Established in 1954, the Lake Wah-Wash-Kesh Conservation Association is a not-for-profit association of cottagers and residents on Lake Wahwashkesh, Ontario, Canada.
Wahwashkesh Lake is the largest lake in the Parry Sound District with 1,721 hectares (4,253 acres) of surface area and over 106 km of shoreline. Approximately 30% of the shoreline property is Crown Land. The lake is comprised of two distinct basins: (1) the north basin or Top Lake is the smaller of the two, and (2) the south basin is the Big Lake. Wahwashkesh is part of the Magnetawan River System, and the lake is renowned for an extremely severe spring freshet with the lake levels often rising 3 to 4 meters above the concrete weir at the outlet of the river.
The lake has a diverse fishery with over 12 species of sport fish, including naturally recruited Lake Trout. In addition, Wahwashkesh is famous for its Atlantic Coastal Plain Flora. The lake ranks in the top five of all lakes in Ontario for such flora, which the Natural Heritage League and the World Wildlife Fund documented extensively in a 1989 study.
