History

When European settlement of the area began in the mid-19th century, the contemporary Bush Lake water body was a bay in Andersons Lake, now an interconnected series of lakes (each of which are also former bays) called the Anderson Lakes.[2] By as early as 1890, there existed a distinct water body referred to as Bush Lake.[3]

Recreational Facilities

Bush Lake is a popular destination in the summer for recreation. The facilities are split between 2 parks, one on the east side of the lake and the other on the west side. Beach and swimming access is from East Bush Lake Park while canoe and boat access is from West Bush Lake Park. West Bush Lake Park also offers canoe and kayak storage. Additionally, both parks offer public restrooms, picnic shelters, fishing piers, volleyball courts, and playgrounds. A multi-use path connects the two parks along the southern edge of the lake. In the past, a daily parking fee was required for users parking at East Bush Lake Park during the summer but since 2020, it has been free for all users. While boats are allowed on Bush Lake, motors are limited to 6 horsepower.[4]
