HISTORY OF ONE ISLAND LAKE, BC

(The initials of their last name spelled HOP) They were involved in building the first road to the lake as well as having some of the first lots available. Government surveyors later named it One Island Lake because of the small island located in one corner of the lake. It became a Provincial Park in February of 1990.
