Lost Lagoon, Stanley Park

This guide to Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park opens with the writer Pauline Johnson paddling out one summer evening to find her favorite cove drained to mud by a tide she'd misjudged, an evening she turned into a story in her 1911 book Legends of Vancouver. You'll hear how the name she gave it outlived both her and the tidal inlet it described, and how the Squamish people already had their own name for this shifting mudflat, Ch'ekxwa'7lech. Listen for the geese and otters along the banks as you walk the water's edge.
