Days 193-194: July 29-30, 2023

Fenelon Falls

Next up on the Trent Severn was Fenelon Falls, the “Jewel of the Kawarthas.” This lock offers electric and water so it’s a busy place. Fortunately, we were able to get a spot on the lower lock wall for the evening.

It was a rainy day, so we took shelter at the local brewery for lunch. After lunch the rain abated, and we walked around the downtown area. The town even had a record shop.

Balsam Lake

July 30th took us a few hours to Balsam Lake. Since we’ve been in towns for quite a while, we decided it was time to anchor and fish. The sunfish were biting so we had quite a feast.
