OLMSTEAD-JEFFREY LAKE Published 2007
First visitor was Samuel de Champlain OLMSTEAD-JEFFREY LAKE in the Ottawa Valley dates its recorded history to the visit by French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1613. Champlain was using the chain of lakes along the Muskrat River to avoid rapids on the Ottawa River. Near here he lost his astrolabe, a navigational instrument. It was found 254 years later. Above is a re-enactment of his visit.
