Day 7 of our trip was spent touring the area near Lindsay, Ontario. We saw locks at Kirkfield (lift lock pictured above), Fenelon Falls, and Bobcaygeon. The whole canal/lake/lock system that runs from Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay is really quite ingenious, and allows people to enjoy leisurely trips through a number of towns along the way. Of course, one must be able to afford the fuel to run the boats, but there didn't seem to be a lack of traffic on the waterways! As usual, pics can be found on my Flickr page.
I want to come back someday and spend time on a boat, cruising up and down those waterways, stopping for lunch at a chip truck (!!!!) and moseying along on a sunny afternoon. Looks like a little piece of heaven to me!
Of course, an afternoon in that area wouldn't be complete without Kawartha Lakes Dairy ice cream. We stopped at the walk-up storefront in Bobcaygeon, and each of us had something different. Waffle cones were mandatory, and I had creme brulee. Way more than I should have had, but it was soooo good!
To all my ice cream-loving friends, yes, if you visit Toronto, try to find time to head northeast to the Kawartha Lakes region. You'll get some lovely, interesting scenery to go along with your treat!
