I met someone (non-diver) last weekend at my wife's highschool reunion who told us about a town in eastern Ontario north of Pembroke which was underwater. I searched the net and found out it was a town called Black Donald, now submerged in Black Donald Lake. It was covered in water when a Hydro-electric dam was built in the mid-50's. Has anyone been there or have information about it. For us it would only be a couple or 3 hour drive and sounds very interesting. Thanks in advance for your responses!

There are some divers in London that have dove that lake. I am not sure of the Dive shop Name but they are Located on Wellington Rd in London. They use to be on Dundas but they moved and changed their name. The owner was/is Rob Pugh.

Would you happen to know the directions to the place that you accessed this divesite? I live in Ottawa and I would like to check out Black Donald this summer.
Thanks
