Here’s a photo from the same era, taken below the “ Pike Hole “ . Austin Lloyd with his brother Llew Lloyd standing behind him with his hands on his shoulders. Don’t know the names of the other two men.
Back Bridge Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum
Kenneth Jackson– That bridge was replaced when Mr.McCalls dump truck loaded with gravel went through it.That part of the river and rock by the island water used to be called The Pike Hole with real good fishing untill they built the new dam with no fish ladders in it.–

We still called it the pike hole but I always wondered why. It is all rocks and the pike in the mississippi are grass pike and are usually in the lake where the weeds are. I wonder if the name has anything to do with the poles / pikes that the loggers used. In all my years of fishing there I never saw a pike caught. I don’t suppose most people in town now would know about the pike hole anymore.
