Description From Owner:
  • In PEI National Park at Cavendish, Lot 23. Derived from Lucy Maud Montgomery's 'Anne of Green Gables”. Formerly called Makems Pond.
  • The lake was once called Cavendish Pond and its location may be a case of mistaken identity.
  • The lake figures often in Lucy Maud Montgomery's novels and of which she wrote in 1917:
  • 'The Lake of Shining Waters is generally supposed to be Cavendish Pond. This is not so. The pond I had in mind is at Park Corner, below Uncle John Campbell's home.'
  • With permission from 'Prince Edward Island Place Names' David E. Scott 2011
