I am afraid that I have not seen or read this book.
The Thirty Thousand Islands along the eastern shoreline of Georgian Bay are a fascinating area. The islands range in size from mere smooth rocks coming out of the water (some with a cottage perched on them) to large fully wooded islands which are probably as large as that Coniston in area. There are no mountains, the whole area was scraped pretty flat in the Ice Age and is part of the granite of the Canadian Shield.
Georgian Bay is a huge body of water compared to an English lake getting on for a 50 miles across from east to west and nearly double that north to south. You could float the Isle of Man and have room for the Isle of Wight in it and still have room for a few Hebrides. There are lots of Great Northern Divers (alias Loons).
Parry Sound is a landlocked area of the Bay which would make a good lake to have S&A advenrures on. Se the map in the link. Killbear is a wilderness Provincial Park with campsites, canoeing and other outdoor activities.
