Beautiful, quiet and small, Ragged Lake, near Bancroft Ontario, is the home of an island with an old prospector cabin owned by one of my best friend's parents when we were younger. When we got a little older, we built a newer cabin on the land on the shoreline and we have watched our families grow up and play there just like we used to.
The lake is where our families, neighbours and close friends swim, dive, play, laugh and fish...always throwing back! It has been amazing to spend so much of our valuable and rare free time there and now share it with a new generation of lake loving water babies. May it always be there as the tranquil escape it was then and is today.
