Robert's Arm is a unique little town.
This is not only because it lies beside Crescent Lake, a majestic body of
water which boasts picturesque surroundings, Robert's Arm is unique
because of what lives in this exquisite Lake. This town has its very
own monster, known as "Cressie" , Green Bay's Loch Ness Monster.
Roberts Arm is located in southwestern Notre Dame Bay, 23 km from
the Trans Canada Highway. By the Mid 1950's, Roberts Arm had developed
into a local service centre. Local tradition says the community was first
named "Rabbits Arm" by people from nearby islands who visited each fall
and winter to trap and cut timber. In the 1911 Census, the name of Roberts
Arm was being used. Local tradition says its name was changed to honor a
prominent resident, John Roberts.
