This lake was at one time called Crab Lake by local residents until the 1950’s when it was changed to Loon Call Lake. The water levels were once controlled by beaver dams, until the concrete dam was put in place at Loon Call Creek, which flows into Eels Creek; thus making the water levels fairly stable, with a 10-15 cm drop from early spring to mid summer. For a complete history, follow the Loon Call Lake Cottagers Association to find their book on the history of the lake told by the early cottages.
Loon Call Lake is home to approximately 80 cottages and only a few minutes out of the town of Apsley.
