Recreational cottage properties are a common part of the rural Canadian landscape. This study explored the changing nature of cottage property development and use. The goal was to gain a better understanding of the human and natural landscape connections that attract cottagers to their recreational properties, and also the changing nature of cottaging communities. In addition to this study at Norman Lake, a companion study was carried out in the ‘cottage country’ lakes area of central Finland.
