Responding to old post, I know but no-one responded within 2 page ... iirc, it was "lost" when the tide was low..
How did Lost Lagoon get its name?
Pauline Johnson, a Metis woman, whose father was a First Nations chief in the East and whose mother was an English noblewoman, was very fond of the area that was then called Coal Basin. She enjoyed canoeing and always missed the Basin as it "disappeared" with low tide. She wrote a poem about it.:
So, it's actually the opposite, the lagoon is no longer ever 'lost' (not a lagoon either,)
