Wow, that DOES sound like a fun project. Lots of work , but fun none the less. I have always found that doing research like this on a area that you are familiar with generally has quite a few "Gosh, I never knew THAT about THIS!!" moments. Which is great when it happens IMHO.

My mother wanted to something like this for the Bruce/Lake George area to your north, but with more of a focus on the Flora and trails of the place. Including the swampland around there. Nothing came of it thougth....except a lot of beautiful pictures and many a swamp-hopping story.

Good luck GP. looking forward to hearing more as it gets under way.
