Wargatie Lake is a glacial lake in Manitoba, in Canada, formerly known as Dummy Lake. [2] [3]
The Municipality of Harrison Park manages the lake, offering recreational fishing for northern pike, walleye, and yellow perch. [4] Wargatie Lake also supports a large population of the northern leopard frog, a Species of Special Concern in Canada; the lake is believed to provide an overwintering habitat for the frogs. [1]
The lake was named for the family of Onofrey Wargatie, whose 1910 homestead was located nearby. [5] Members of the family were deaf-mute, leading to the original name, Dummy Lake. In 2000, the derogatory name was rescinded and replaced with the current name, which "commemorates the family more appropriately." [6]
