| Sunset - Kawartha Lakes - Trent/Severn Waterway |
We burned up some gas today as we powered through this lake region. House boating is very popular and thankfully we did not have to lock through with one. We had been warned that often the operators are not very experienced & the boats themselves rather unresponsive ..... not a good combination.
The lakes today are wide open bodies of water similar to Midwestern lakes. They just seem to go on and on. At times it was hard to find the channel markers as they were far apart and often in the open water.

An interesting passage was the Trent Canal, a very long, shallow & narrow land cut through the Canadian Shield. Through the clear water you could see the granite & basalt sides and bottom. Luckily we did not have to pass any large boats along this stretch.
