Hi. I was wondering how Baird Lake got it’s name, and can’t find a website with the info. I need. Could you please tell me who the lake was named after, and the history behind it? Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance for your help. Lonni Baird 🙂
In addition to my last request, I would also love it if you could send me any brochures on Baird/Hidden Lake re: fishing, camping etc. Thank you once again. Lonni 🙂
What a great question. A few months ago, I completed some research on how to get a geographic feature named. I found some nice falls that have no name…I’ve yet to submit my paperwork to get them named but I have some ideas…..anyway
