Lake Simcoe

Lake in Ontario, Canada

Lake Simcoe is a lake in southern Ontario, Canada, the fourth-largest lake entirely within provincial boundaries, after Lake Nipigon, Lac Seul, and Lake Nipissing. At the time of the first European contact in the 17th century, the lake was called Ouentironk ("Beautiful Water") by the native Wendat/Ouendat (Huron) people. It was also known as Lake Taronto until it was renamed by John Graves Simcoe, the first lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada, in memory of his father, Captain John Simcoe of the Royal Navy.
