Tomahawk - Lac La Hache, British Columbia - Roadside Attractions on Waymarking.com

Lac La Hache is translated: "The Lake of the Axe". As legend has it: during the fur trade era, after the unfortunate incident of a French-Canadian voyageur who lost his axe head while chopping a hole in the ice.

This is a huge welcome sign with Lac La Hache, BC across the handle. There is rope binding around the end of the handle and used to attach the blade to the handle. The blade is metal most likely shaped typical of this fur trading era.

Considering the fur trade in British Columbia started around 1850 this roadside attraction, though named tomahawk, is more typical of an axe used during this era. Beside it just does not seem logical that the town would use a representation of their community with something other than an axe in reference for the name of the nearby lake and how it got its name.
