73-541: Moose Mountain Provincial Park is a provincial park , in south-eastern Saskatchewan about 24 kilometres (15 mi) north of the town of Carlyle on the Moose Mountain Upland . It is one of Saskatchewan's few parks with a community inside the park as there are several subdivisions with both year-round and seasonal residents. The village of Kenosee Lake is completely surrounded by the park but

146-414: A road going south connecting the park to Carlyle Lake and the town of Carlyle , and going north to Kennedy . Construction of an 18-hole golf course began in 1932 and was completed by 1933. The park was officially established on 1 July 1932 with Saskatchewan Premier J.T.M. Anderson present at the construction site for the ribbon cutting and official opening. Deputy minister John Barnett had also come to

219-511: A drifter to steam power. In 1877, he built the first screw propelled steam trawler in the world. Steam trawlers were introduced at Grimsby and Hull in the 1880s. In 1890 it was estimated that there were 20,000 men on the North Sea. The steam drifter was not used in the herring fishery until 1897. The last sailing fishing trawler was built in 1925 in Grimsby. Trawler designs adapted as

292-530: A major source of food. The British dogger was a very early type of sailing trawler from the 17th century, but the modern fishing trawler was developed in the 19th century, at the English fishing port of Brixham . By the early 19th century, the fishers at Brixham needed to expand their fishing area further than ever before due to the ongoing depletion of stocks that was occurring in the overfished waters of South Devon . The Brixham trawler that evolved there

365-496: A recreational fishing boat, so long as a fisher periodically climbs aboard with the intent to catch a fish. Fish are caught for recreational purposes from boats which range from dugout canoes , float tubes , kayaks , rafts , stand up paddleboards, pontoon boats and small dinghies to runabouts , cabin cruisers and cruising yachts to large, hi-tech and luxurious big game rigs. Larger boats, purpose-built with recreational fishing in mind, usually have large, open cockpits at

438-788: A regional park. The list of parks, and their types, come from The Parks Act. Most Regional Parks are established as per the Regional Parks Act. Virtually all of the regional parks in Saskatchewan are affiliated with the Saskatchewan Regional Parks Association (SRPA). The SPRA supports the parks by assisting with research, education, marketing, etc. A yearly park pass purchased at any SRPA park also grants access to all other SRPA parks. The Meewasin Valley Authority Act,

511-445: A solution and to discuss options to once again make the golf course a premier destination. It was decided that a full course renovation and redesign was the best option. A five-year plan was initiated to complete the redesign that would allow the course to remain open during the renovations. The total cost in cash expenditures was almost one million dollars. However, the actual cash value, including donated labour, equipment, and materials,

584-546: A tangle – this was called a 'tangle' in Britain, and a 'backlash' in the US. This problem spurred the invention of the regulator to evenly spool the line out and prevent tangling. The American, Charles F. Orvis, designed and distributed a novel reel and fly design in 1874, described by reel historian Jim Brown as the "benchmark of American reel design," and the first fully modern fly reel. Albert Illingworth, 1st Baron Illingworth

657-504: A textiles magnate, patented the modern form of fixed-spool spinning reel in 1905. When casting Illingworth's reel design, the line was drawn off the leading edge of the spool but was restrained and rewound by a line pickup, a device which orbits around the stationary spool. Because the line did not have to pull against a rotating spool, much lighter lures could be cast than with conventional reels. The development of inexpensive fiberglass rods, synthetic fly lines, and monofilament leaders in

730-446: A worldwide catch of well over a million tonnes in 1999, with herring and sardines together providing a catch of over 22 million metric tons in 1999. Many other species as well are fished in smaller numbers. Fish farming is the principal form of aquaculture , while other methods may fall under mariculture . It involves raising fish commercially in tanks or enclosures, usually for food. A facility that releases juvenile fish into

803-464: Is a boat or ship used to catch fish in the sea, or on a lake or river. Many different kinds of vessels are used in commercial , artisanal , and recreational fishing . According to the FAO , in 2004 there were four million commercial fishing vessels. About 1.3 million of these are decked vessels with enclosed areas. Nearly all of these decked vessels are mechanised, and 40,000 of them are over 100 tons. At

876-659: Is also a baseball diamond, which is where the Kenosee Cubs of the Saskota Baseball League play. In the winter, Kenosee Lake Lookout is the top of the tobogganing hill. At the bottom of the hill, there is a warm up shack and fire pits. Every February on Family Day an event called Moose Mountain Family Fun Day is held at the hill and on the frozen lake. There's toboganning, skating, cross-country skiing, curling, hot dogs, and roasted marshmallows. At

949-615: Is also great for wildlife finds such as moose , elk , and many species of birds. List of protected areas of Saskatchewan#Provincial parks International Associated acts This is a list of protected areas of Saskatchewan . The federal government transferred control of natural resources to the western provinces in 1930 with the Natural Resources Acts . At that time, the Saskatchewan government set up its own Department of Natural Resources. In an attempt to get people working and to encourage tourism during

1022-601: Is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man , a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. Archaeology features such as shell middens , discarded fish bones, and cave paintings show that seafood was important for survival and consumed in significant quantities. Fishing in Africa

1095-479: Is defined by the FAO as including recreational , subsistence and commercial fishing , and the harvesting, processing , and marketing sectors. The commercial activity is aimed at the delivery of fish and other seafood products for human consumption or use as raw material in other industrial processes. In 2022 24% of fishers and fish farmers and 62% of workers in post-harvest sector were women. There are three principal industry sectors: Commercial fishing

1168-550: Is evident very early on in human history. Neanderthals were fishing by about 200,000 BC. People could have developed basketry for fish traps, using spinning and early forms of knitting to make fishing nets able to catch more fish. During this period, most people lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle and were, of necessity, constantly on the move. However, where there are early examples of permanent settlements (though not necessarily permanently occupied) such as those at Lepenski Vir , they are almost always associated with fishing as

1241-584: Is fishing from boats to catch large open-water species such as swordfish , tuna , sharks , and marlin . Sportfishing (sometimes game fishing) is recreational fishing where the primary reward is the challenge of finding and catching the fish rather than the culinary or financial value of the fish's flesh. Fish sought after include tarpon , sailfish , mackerel , grouper and many others. The fishing industry includes any industry or activity concerned with taking, culturing, processing, preserving, storing, transporting, marketing or selling fish or fish products. It

1314-424: Is not normally applied to harvesting fish raised in controlled cultivations ( fish farming ). Nor is it normally applied to hunting aquatic mammals , where terms like whaling and sealing are used instead. Fishing has been an important part of human culture since hunter-gatherer times. It is one of the few food production activities that has persisted from prehistory into the modern age , surviving both

1387-433: Is not part of the park. Long before the park was established, the forest and lakes on the plateau that the park is on had been an important source of resources for the local Indigenous people and early settlers. The forests provided shelter, firewood, fishing, and game . The lakes, especially Carlyle and Fish , provided recreation as, starting in the early 1900s, cabins, stores, and dance halls were being built. Seeing

1460-751: Is the activity of trying to catch fish . Fish are often caught as wildlife from the natural environment ( fresh water or marine ), but may also be caught from stocked bodies of water such as ponds , canals , park wetlands and reservoirs . Fishing techniques include trawling , longlining , jigging , hand-gathering , spearing , netting , angling , shooting and trapping , as well as more destructive and often illegal techniques such as electrocution , blasting and poisoning . The term fishing broadly includes catching aquatic animals other than fish, such as crustaceans ( shrimp / lobsters / crabs ), shellfish , cephalopods ( octopus / squid ) and echinoderms ( starfish / sea urchins ). The term

1533-512: Is the capture of fish for commercial purposes. Those who practice it must often pursue fish far from the land under adverse conditions. Commercial fishermen harvest a wide range of aquatic species, from tuna , cod and salmon to shrimp , krill , lobster , clams , squid and crab , in various fisheries for these species. Commercial fishing methods have become very efficient using large nets and sea-going processing factories. Individual fishing quotas and international treaties seek to control

1606-632: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the total world capture fisheries production in 2000 was 86 million tons (FAO 2002). The top producing countries were, in order, the People's Republic of China (excluding Hong Kong and Taiwan), Peru, Japan, the United States, Chile, Indonesia, Russia, India, Thailand, Norway, and Iceland. Those countries accounted for more than half of

1679-656: The Great Depression causing high unemployment, many government work programmes were set up, including the creation of six provincial parks . Moose Mountain Provincial Park was among these six original parks. Moose Mountain Provincial Park was designated a park in 1931. From then until 1935, several work projects around the park were completed. Work began in the spring of 1931 with the building of Moose Mountain Chalet, landscaping, building of Main Beach on Kenosee Lake, and

1752-420: The Great Depression , several projects were set up by the government, including setting up a provincial park system in 1931. The founding parks include Cypress Hills, Duck Mountain, Good Spirit Lake, Moose Mountain, Katepwa Point, and Little Manitou . Greenwater Lake was added in 1932. Two more parks were added by the end of the 1930s and Little Manitou ceased to be a provincial park in 1956 and in 1962, it became

1825-546: The Neolithic Revolution and successive Industrial Revolutions . In addition to fishing for food , people commonly fish as a recreational pastime . Fishing tournaments are held, and caught fish are sometimes kept long-term as preserved or living trophies . When bioblitzes occur, fish are typically caught, identified, and then released . According to the United Nations FAO statistics,

1898-755: The Wakamow Valley Authority Act, and the Provincial Capital Commission Act also give authority to create regional parks. The following is a list of all the regional parks: The following is a list of Saskatchewan provincial recreation sites: The following is a list of Saskatchewan provincial wildlife refuges: The list of protected areas below comes from the Parks Act. There are 49 National Historic Sites designated in Saskatchewan, 10 of which are administered by Parks Canada . Fishing Fishing

1971-462: The haberdashers store. After the Great Fire of London in 1666, artisans moved to Redditch which became a centre of production of fishing-related products from the 1730s. Onesimus Ustonson established his shop in 1761, and his establishment remained a market leader for the next century. He received a royal warrant from three successive monarchs starting with King George IV . He also invented

2044-574: The multiplying winch . The commercialization of the industry came at a time of expanded interest in fishing as a recreational hobby for members of the aristocracy . The impact of the Industrial Revolution was first felt in the manufacture of fly lines. Instead of anglers twisting their lines – a laborious and time-consuming process – the new textile spinning machines allowed for a variety of tapered lines to be easily manufactured and marketed. British fly fishing continued to develop in

2117-489: The stern , designed for convenient fishing. Traditional fishing is any kind of small scale, commercial or subsistence fishing practices using traditional techniques such as rod and tackle , arrows and harpoons , throw nets and drag nets, etc. Recreational and sport fishing refer to fishing primarily for pleasure or competition. Recreational fishing has conventions, rules, licensing restrictions and laws that limit how fish may be caught; typically, these prohibit

2190-413: The 19th century, with the emergence of fly fishing clubs, along with the appearance of several books on the subject of fly tying and fly fishing techniques. By the mid to late 19th century, expanding leisure opportunities for the middle and lower classes began to have an effect on fly fishing, which steadily grew in mass appeal. The expansion of the railway network in Britain allowed the less affluent for

2263-649: The German fishing fleet. The earliest steam-powered fishing boats first appeared in the 1870s and used the trawl system of fishing as well as lines and drift nets. These were large boats, usually 80–90 feet (24–27 m) in length with a beam of around 20 feet (6 m). They weighed 40–50 tons and travelled at 9–11 knots (17–20 km/h; 10–13 mph). David Allen designed and made the earliest purpose-built fishing vessels in Leith , Scotland in March 1875, when he converted

2336-603: The Visitor's Centre and the second floor became administrative offices. The Moose Mountain Chalet and Cabins were officially designated a Provincial Heritage Property on 20 January 2012. Kenosee Lake is the largest body of water in the park and serves as its central tourist attraction. Seasonal recreational activities in and around the lake and park include fishing , hunting , hiking , cycling , swimming , boating , water sports , cross-country skiing , snowmobile riding, horseback riding , miniature golf , and golfing. There

2409-595: The assistance of a drone . Why a fish bites a baited hook or lure involves several factors related to the sensory physiology, behaviour, feeding ecology, and biology of the fish as well as the environment and characteristics of the bait/hook/lure. There is an intricate link between various fishing techniques and knowledge about the fish and their behaviour including migration , foraging and habitat . The effective use of fishing techniques often depends on this additional knowledge. Some fishers follow fishing folklores which claim that fish feeding patterns are influenced by

2482-462: The book was added by Walton's friend Charles Cotton . Charles Kirby designed an improved fishing hook in 1655 that remains relatively unchanged to this day. He went on to invent the Kirby bend, a distinctive hook with an offset point, still commonly used today. The 18th century was mainly an era of consolidation of the techniques developed in the previous century. Running rings began to appear along

2555-467: The cabins still stand and are now the Artisan Colony. On 1 November 1933, a fire started in the chimney and the interior was gutted by fire. The rock façade and concrete survived and the chalet was able to be rebuilt. It re-opened for the summer season of 1934. The hotel portion of the chalet closed its rooms in 1981 and the restaurant closed in the late 1980s. The first floor was transformed into

2628-549: The country. Modern reel design had begun in England during the latter part of the 18th century, and the predominant model in use was known as the ' Nottingham reel'. The reel was a wide drum that spooled out freely and was ideal for allowing the bait to drift a long way out with the current. Geared multiplying reels never successfully caught on in Britain, but had more success in the United States, where George Snyder of Kentucky modified similar models into his bait-casting reel,

2701-478: The early 1950s revived the popularity of fly fishing. There are many fishing techniques and tactics for catching fish. The term can also be applied to methods for catching other aquatic animals such as molluscs ( shellfish , squid , octopus) and edible marine invertebrates . Fishing techniques include hand gathering , spearfishing , netting , angling , bowfishing and trapping , as well as less common techniques such as gaffing , snagging , clubbing and

2774-626: The federal government created the Dominion Parks Branch . Moose Mountain Forest Preserve came under management of the Dominion Forests Division of this new Dominion Parks Branch. In 1930, the federal government transferred control of natural resources over to the western provinces under the Natural Resources Acts . The Saskatchewan government then set up its own Department of Natural Resources. With

2847-486: The first American-made design in 1810. The material used for the rod itself changed from the heavy woods native to England to lighter and more elastic varieties imported from abroad, especially from South America and the West Indies . Bamboo rods became the generally favoured option from the mid-19th century, and several strips of the material were cut from the cane, milled into shape, and then glued together to form

2920-463: The first modern fishing port. The elegant Brixham trawler spread across the world, influencing fishing fleets everywhere. By the end of the 19th century, there were over 3,000 fishing trawlers in commission in Britain, with almost 1,000 at Grimsby. These trawlers were sold to fishers around Europe, including from the Netherlands and Scandinavia . Twelve trawlers went on to form the nucleus of

2993-415: The first time to take weekend trips to the seaside or rivers for fishing. Richer hobbyists ventured further abroad. The large rivers of Norway replete with large stocks of salmon began to attract fishers from England in large numbers in the middle of the century – Jones's guide to Norway, and salmon-fisher's pocket companion , published in 1848, was written by Frederic Tolfrey and was a popular guide to

3066-416: The fishing rods, which gave anglers greater control over the cast line. The rods themselves were also becoming increasingly sophisticated and specialised for different roles. Jointed rods became common from the middle of the century and bamboo came to be used for the top section of the rod, giving it much greater strength and flexibility. The industry also became commercialised – rods and tackle were sold at

3139-638: The importance of a "forest island" in the middle of the bald prairie , the Canadian government in 1906 designated the upland as a forest reserve under the Dominion Lands Branch through the Dominion Forest Reserves Act . In 1908, it was re-designated as Moose Mountain Forest Preserve to protect the forests from being cleared for farm and pasture land. The Act also ensured the forest could be managed sustainably. In 1911,

3212-408: The light, strong, hexagonal rods with a solid core that were superior to anything that preceded them. George Cotton and his predecessors fished their flies with long rods, and light lines allowing the wind to do most of the work of getting the fly to the fish. Tackle design began to improve in the 1880s. The introduction of new woods to the manufacture of fly rods made it possible to cast flies into

3285-550: The main beach, Sask Aquatic Adventures has a water adventure park set up. It is one of several in Saskatchewan. On the east side of the park, just off Highway 9, is Kenosee Superslides . The Core Area, sometimes referred to as Kenosee Park , is where many of the main attractions and services are located. Allison Park Store, Kenosee Inn & Cabins, Moose Mountain Chalet, Artisan Colony, Masters Mini Golf, tennis courts, laundry services, picnic areas, and Kenosee Lake Main Beach are all located there. There are two main campsites in

3358-496: The ocean possible for the first time, resulting in a massive migration of fishers from the ports in the south of England, to villages further north, such as Scarborough , Hull , Grimsby , Harwich and Yarmouth , that were points of access to the large fishing grounds in the Atlantic Ocean . The small village of Grimsby grew to become the largest fishing port in the world by the mid 19th century. An Act of Parliament

3431-550: The other extreme, two-thirds (1.8 million) of the undecked boats are traditional craft of various types, powered only by sail and oars. These boats are used by artisan fishers . It is difficult to estimate how many recreational fishing boats there are, although the number is high. The term is fluid since some recreational boats may also be used for fishing from time to time. Unlike most commercial fishing vessels, recreational fishing boats are often not dedicated just to fishing. Just about anything that will stay afloat can be called

3504-651: The park and renamed Fish Lake to Kenosee Lake : "We'll change the name of this place to Kenosee Lake...that is Indian for fish. We'll build a chalet here, on that rise above the depression making this into a sunken garden." To protect the forest and the park, firebreaks and fire lookout towers were built in strategic spots around the upland and the park. Three subdivisions , McNaughton, Sunnybank, and Sandy Bay, were built alongside Kenosee Lake with cottages made available to private owners. Years later, more subdivisions were added, including Acoose, Chechsip, and Beaver. A stonemason named Charles John Parker from Ontario

3577-498: The park is a wide biking/walking trail that starts at the Core Area and goes to the main campsites. Other main hiking trails include: In total, there's more than 120 km (75 mi) of groomed snowmobile trails, 50 km (31 mi) of cross-country ski trails, and 10 km (6.2 mi) of snowshoe trails. Besides the main lakes of Kenosee and Little Kenosee , there are numerous small named and unnamed lakes throughout

3650-446: The park. Many of these lakes are accessible off the main trails and road systems. Other notable lakes in the park include Beaver , Muskrat, Youell, and Crane. The park biome is aspen parkland which consists of aspen, poplars, and spruce interspersed with prairie grasslands, which provides abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. Fish species include walleye , yellow perch , northern pike , burbot , and white sucker . Moose Mountain

3723-410: The park. The smaller of the two, Lynwood with 30 sites, is along the north shore of Kenosee Lake. The main campsite, Fish Creek, takes up most of the isthmus between Little Kenosee and Kenosee Lakes. It is divided into four sections, A through D, and there are well over 300 campsites, many of them full-service. Poplar Lane and Aspen Meadows, just to the west of Fish Creek, are group camping sites. Inside

3796-444: The position of the sun and the moon. Fishing tackles are the equipment used by fishers when fishing. Almost any equipment or gear used for fishing can be called a fishing tackle, although the term is most commonly associated with gear used in angling . Some examples are hooks , lines , sinkers , floats , rods , reels , baits , lures , spears , nets , gaffs , traps , waders , and tackle boxes. Fishing techniques refer to

3869-414: The same techniques. Recreational fishers fish for pleasure, sport, or to provide food for themselves, while commercial fishers fish for profit. Artisanal fishers use traditional, low-tech methods, for survival in third-world countries, and as a cultural heritage in other countries. Usually, recreational fishers use angling methods and commercial fishers use netting methods. A modern development is to fish with

3942-430: The shallow lake would freeze nearly to the bottom killing off the fish. Low lake levels not only hurt sport fishing at the lake, it also affected water quality for swimming and other water activities. The end result was that fewer people were coming to the park and, coupled with other newer golf courses being built nearby, Golf Kenosee suffered. A Special General Meeting of Shareholders was held in 2002 to try to figure out

4015-418: The side, rather than over the stern . The first purpose-built stern trawler was Fairtry built in 1953 at Aberdeen , Scotland. The ship was much larger than any other trawlers then in operation and inaugurated the era of the 'super trawler'. As the ship pulled its nets over the stern, it could lift out a much greater haul of up to 60 tons. The ship served as a basis for the expansion of 'super trawlers' around

4088-483: The species and quantities caught. A commercial fishing enterprise may vary from one person with a small boat with hand-casting nets or a few pot traps, to a huge fleet of trawlers processing tons of fish every day. Commercial fishing gear includes weights, nets (e.g. purse seine ), seine nets (e.g. beach seine), trawls (e.g. bottom trawl ), dredges, hooks and line (e.g. long line and handline ), lift nets, gillnets , entangling nets and traps . According to

4161-511: The time. Leonard Mascall in 1589 wrote A booke of Fishing with Hooke and Line along with many others he produced in his life on game and wildlife in England at the time. The Compleat Angler was written by Izaak Walton in 1653 (although Walton continued to add to it for a quarter of a century) and described the fishing in the Derbyshire Wye . It was a celebration of the art and spirit of fishing in prose and verse. A second part to

4234-434: The total number of commercial fishers and fish farmers is estimated to be 39.0 million. Fishing industries and aquaculture provide direct and indirect employment to over 500 million people in developing countries . In 2005, the worldwide per capita consumption of fish captured from wild fisheries was 14.4 kilograms (32 lb), with an additional 7.4 kilograms (16 lb) harvested from fish farms . Fishing

4307-410: The use of nets and the catching of fish with hooks not in the mouth. The most common form of recreational fishing is done with a rod , reel , line , hooks and any one of a wide range of baits or lures such as artificial flies . The practice of catching or attempting to catch fish with a hook is generally known as angling . In angling, it is sometimes expected or required that fish be returned to

4380-552: The use of specially trained animals such as cormorants and otters . There are also destructive fishing techniques (such as electrocution , blasting and poisoning ) that can do irreversible damage to the local ecosystems by killing/ sterilizing entire fish stocks , habitat destruction and/or upsetting the equilibrium of interspecific competitions , and such practices are often deemed illegal and liable to criminal punishments . Recreational , commercial and artisanal fishers use different techniques, and also, sometimes,

4453-563: The village of Kenosee Lake is a full-service private campground. In the core area of the park, overlooking Kenosee Lake, is the Kenosee Inn & Cabins. Besides a grand view of the lake, it features 30 hotel rooms, 23 cabins, a conference room, and a restaurant. On the west side of the lake, along the shore of Christopher Bay at the former site of the Arcola Resort, there are three Christian summer camps: The 18-hole golf course

4526-516: The water ( catch and release ). Recreational or sport fishermen may log their catches or participate in fishing competitions. The estimated global number of recreational fishers varies from 220 million to a maximum number of 700 million fishers globally, which is thought to be double the number of individuals working as commercial fishers. In the United States alone it was estimated that 50.1 million people engaged in fishing activities in both saltwater and freshwater environments. Big-game fishing

4599-420: The way they were powered changed from sail to coal-fired steam by World War I to diesel and turbines by the end of World War II . In 1931, the first powered drum was created by Laurie Jarelainen. The drum was a circular device that was set to the side of the boat and would draw in the nets. Since World War II , radio navigation aids and fish finders have been widely used. The first trawlers fished over

4672-430: The ways the tackles are used when fishing. Tackles that are attached to the end of a fishing line are collectively called terminal tackles . These include hooks, sinkers, floats, leader lines, swivels , split rings, and any wires, snaps, beads, spoons, blades, spinners and clevises used to attach spinner blades to fishing lures. People also tend to use dead or live bait fish as another form of bait . A fishing vessel

4745-424: The wind on silk lines, instead of horse hair . These lines allowed for a much greater casting distance. However, these early fly lines proved troublesome as they had to be coated with various dressings to make them float and needed to be taken off the reel and dried every four hours or so to prevent them from becoming waterlogged. Another negative consequence was that it became easy for the much longer line to get into

4818-551: The world in the following decades. The early evolution of fishing as recreation is not clear. For example, there is anecdotal evidence for fly fishing in Japan. However, fly fishing was likely to have been a means of survival, rather than recreation. The earliest English essay on recreational fishing was published in 1496, by Dame Juliana Berners , the prioress of the Benedictine Sopwell Nunnery . The essay

4891-433: The world's production; China alone accounted for a third of the world's production. Of that production, over 90% was marine and less than 10% was inland. A small number of species support the majority of the world's fisheries. Some of these species are herring , cod , sardine , anchovy , tuna , flounder , mullet , squid , shrimp , salmon , crab, lobster , oyster and scallops . All except these last four provided

4964-454: Was brought in to build the three-storey Moose Mountain Chalet. The chalet, which was opened up as an upscale boutique hotel with a rotunda on the main floor, a dining room and fireplace on the second floor, and bedrooms on the third floor was completed by the summer of 1933. The outer rock façade used local rocks found around the lake and on two of the lake's islands, Hog and Maple. Along with the chalet, 14 cabins were built nearby in 1932. Four of

5037-411: Was closer to two million dollars. The redesign coupled with rising lake levels has meant that Golf Kenosee and Moose Mountain Provincial Park once again became a go-to destination. The park features a variety of trails for hiking, biking, ATVing, and snowmobiling. Permits are required for ATVs and are restricted to designated areas between 15 June and the end of Labour Day . Along the main road through

5110-546: Was constructed between 1932 and 1933 and at the time was one of Canada's premier golf courses. It was built in conjunction with the chalet with the goal of attracting wealthy tourists to the park. The endeavour was a huge success. The original clubhouse was replaced in 1952. In the mid-1980s, Golf Kenosee was established when a group of 135 stakeholders raised $ 1.35 million to take over the golf course from Moose Mountain Provincial Park. The water level at Kenosee Lake had been dropping for decades. It got so low that in some winters,

5183-661: Was first obtained in 1796, which authorised the construction of new quays and dredging of the Haven to make it deeper.
