3-DAY WEATHER FORECAST:
Lake Scugog is an artificially flooded lake in Scugog Township between the town of Port Perry, Ontario and the town of Lindsay. The lake has been raised and lowered several times over its history. Though not technically part of the Kawarthas due to its shallow depths, it is often geographically linked to them. Its sole outflow, the Scugog River, connects to Sturgeon Lake.
The name "Scugog" may be an Ojibwe word meaning "marshy waters". However, according to Place Names of Ontario by Alan Rayburn, Scugog is a Mississauga word meaning 'waves leap over a canoe' in reference, perhaps, to the flooding of the river valley, or, more likely, the quickness that waves can be whipped up in winds, owing to its shallowness. Fishing is also a major attraction of the lake, as its shallow weed-filled bed is host to an abundance of species.
Only an hour north of Toronto, Lake Scugog is one of the hottest walleye lakes in southern Ontario. It is also an amazing early and lake season fishery for walleye and trophy musky.
