Day trip to Lindsay

After getting some much needed rest and an early lunch, we headed down to Pigeon River to check out the beach and boating facilities of the Park.  Then onward to Lindsay, a town approximately 25 minutes west of Emily Park.

Lindsay is located on the Scugog River which joins the Southwest leg of Sturgeon Lake in the North, to Lake Scugog in the South.  As you may see from some of our photographs, they have done a beautiful job with the parklands that border the river.  Within walking distance of the downtown area are the remains of an old mill, as well as Lock 33 which enables pleasure boaters to migrate to and from Lake Scugog. Having boated on the Trent-Severn Waterway for eight years, we still take every available opportunity to visit the various locks and canals.
