'Cook's Bay' is a
bay in
Canada. It is located in the southern part of
Lake Simcoe, about 60 kilometres north of
Toronto,
Ontario. The bay has some of the best fishing areas in
North America, especially for
yellow perch. The town of
Keswick is the largest area that the bay has access to. Many
marinas and motel accommodations are available.
Cook's Bay was named by
John Graves Simcoe, the
Lieutenant-Governor of
Upper Canada, for
James Cook, who had served as Master, aboard the HMS Pembroke in 1759, under the command of Captain John Simcoe, the Lieutenant-Governor's father.
