At the time, it was believed that lac Pemichangan was part of lac Des-Trente-Et-Un-Mile(thirty-one-mile lake), that's why it was named Papenegeang(long lake). Pemichangan means eau claire/clear water.

Lac PAPENEGEANG ou Grand Lac. Ce nom double se trouve sur:
Map of the Western Part of the Province of Quebec Canada, by Eugene Taché, Assistant Commissioner Crown Land Dept. Quebec, 1874.
J'ai cette carte et je l'ai montrée à Elaine Isabelle.
Il s'agit de l'ensemble de ce qu'on appelle maintenant le lac des Trente et un Milles et le lac Pemichangan.
Sur deux autres cartes anciens, j'ai vu L. Papenegegeangou, évidemment des copies erronées de la carte de Taché, pour le même ensemble.
La toponymie des Algonquins, Jean-Claude Fortin, 1999, 178 pages, donne Lac PAPENEGOEGAWONG,31J/04 46°12’ 75°49' VN, pour le Lac des Trente et Un Milles.
J’ai vu chez un antiquaire à Toronto deux cartes: Timberlands map, sheet 3, 1875, de Jules Taché, où il y a le «Lac PAPENEGENAN» (pour les lacs 31 Milles et Pemichangan ensemble) et Timberlands map, sheet 4, 1875, de A.J.Russell, où il y a le même lac avec le nom «Grand Lake».

La Commission de toponomie du Québec ne donne pas la traduction du nom Algonquin. Mon ami William Commanda m'a dit que son père parlait du lac comme KAKINOGAMACK: plan d'eau grand en longueur. Pour le nom Algonquin qu'on trouve sur les cartes, il dit seulement que le début de l'expression, PAPI- peut signifier laughing or smiling. Il dit que PEMICHANGAN signifie lac de travers (à traverser) ou Cross Lake.

Lac Papaenegang
It's a bit anticlimatic to learn that the the beautiful "pemichangan" or "papaenegang" (equally nice) meant, according to this translantion, nothing more than "that long lake" or "the big lake".
Frankly, I was hoping for something more romantic, along the lines of "the lake of deep fresh waters", or "the lake of a hundred bays", or the "lake of resting eagles".
Somehow, I can't help but doubt the veracity of that translation. Perhaps we can find a better source somewhere.

Reply to living at the lake
Butch,
Hi there.
First let's clear something up - my name is not machel (who is called machel???? (joke)) but Michele and I remember you coming up at the lake - you probably knew my brother Jean (John) and not Marc - Jean is three years youunger than me -Marc is six years younger - always wondered what happened to your family...I still go up and even bought a little cottage. Every now and then people form very long ago come up - it's great - you should try it!
Randy and Vivian, This is so nice - I've lost touch with so many people that come up to the cottage when I was young - perhaps now we'll all reconnect thanks to your site!

Today
Dear Randy and Vivian,
Last november(2007) during the hunting season I took pictures of the place as it is today. Some are from the roads around, the big island, the lake and the camps including yours. I would like to send them to you but I don't know if the e-mail address that you gave me is still good cause I sent you that message a couple of times with that address and you never answered me back. Please let me know if you want them and how to send them to you!
