Yesterday we traveled 17 miles with no locks (a first for us on the Trent-Severn), stopping in Bobcaygeon, ON. We’re moored on the lower wall at Lock 32, the first built on the waterway in 1833. Bobcaygeon is a popular, vibrant tourist town—the name comes either from the French “beau bocage,” meaning “beautiful farmland,” or the Mississauga Ojibway “baabaawaabikojiwanaang,” meaning “at the rocky narrows with current.” Map Link: Bobcaygeon, ON
We walked a mile to the Kawartha Settler’s Village, a collection of 19th and early-20th century structures and artifacts relocated to a site between the town’s water tower and lawn bowling club. Then we stopped at the Kawartha Dairy, whose ice cream is known all across Canada. The Food Land was next for provisions, then dinner at the Wing House, followed by the weekly Concert in the Park, featuring Tom Polley and the Old Tomorrows from Toronto. The music was excellent, and attended by a nice-sized crowd of 200-300 on a gorgeous summer evening.
