At the bottom of The Narrows, joining Lake Simcoe and Couchiching, are the remains of the fish weirs that were noted by Samuel de Champlain when he passed here on September 1, 1605.
The weirs consisted of large numbers of stakes driven into the bottom of The Narrows, with openings at which nets were placed to catch fish. The remains of the fish weirs were noted by archaeologists as early as 1887, and their location was partially charted in 1955.
Rama First Nation became stewards of the weirs after they were recognized as a significant historical site in 1982. The oldest wooden stakes are clustered in the east channel, and samples taken from the stakes have provided carbon dates more than 5000 years old.
