Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg?


 
Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg!  Thank goodness this is only a blog, as I'd have NO idea how to properly pronounce this name :).   The lake is located in Webster,  Massachusetts, USA.   The lake's name comes from the indigenous Nipmuc people (Algonquian language) and means "Fishing Place at Boundries, Neutral Meeting Grounds".  Some say "You fish on your side, I fish on my side and nobody fish in the middle :)". The lake is about 1,270 acres and 17 miless of shoreline and 7 or 8 islands.  The lake is "average"..  it's pretty obvious why this place deserves Strange Spot status :)..
