Lake Simcoe as a "fist"

It is an very good description but everyone I've heard use that analogy is that Lake Simcoe looks like a hand pointing SOUTH towards Toronto with Kempenfelt Bay as the "thumb" and Cook's Bay as the finger. Couchiching is considered by locals to be a separate lake altogether. CU L8R AV8R ... J-P 14:40, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Toronto's name
There's a conflict between the origin of the name Toronto on this page and on other pages, such as the page for Toronto. I would suggest changing the origin to match the information found on Toronto's name. Twinchester 13:45, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Indeed, but this will require careful cleanup. tkaronto, and later Taronto, were applied to the narrows where fishing was commonly practiced, whereas the lake may have had a different name altogether. The name Toronto was likely a transcription error by an Italian cartographer, who may have found the mis-spelling more phonetically pleasing. (I have no sources for that, though.)

Can we add a map?
It would be really nice to have a map showing where in "southern Ontario" Lake Simcoe is located. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 22:26, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
