Wednesday morning we traveled on the Trent Severn Waterway from LOCK 6 to CAMPBELLFORD. It was a beautiful sunny day with very little wind (quite a change from the day before).
We traveled for seven hours and cleared six locks. Entering Lock 7 we met up with fellow Loopers from Michigan on Pura Vida. It was a pleasure locking together for the day and enjoying "Docktails" that evening.
It was easy to enjoy the scenery along the river hurrying to CAMPBELLFORD for the towns Wednesday night summer concert series. CAMPBELLFORD traces it's history back to 1834. It is a vibrant art community and is particularly known for the music scene.
A very still morning pushing off from our morning wall at LOCK 6 entering "Danger Narrows" on the waterway.
Our navigation course for the day (Green Line).
Along the waterway we saw: A Beaver Dam, "Cribs" placed by Loggers over 100 years ago and Turtles sunning on Lily Pads.
Six Locks today :)
Our first Double Lift Lock...At Ranney Falls on the Trent Severn Waterway (Locks 11&12).
Docked for one night on the town wall in CAMPBELLFORD (Our locking partners on Pura Vida are on the wall in front of a Thistle).
We rode bikes to the CAMPBELLFORD suspension bridge and walked across.
Scenic CAMPBELLFORD: A nice bike trail along the River, There is a 27 foot high Toonie ($2 Canadian coin) statue in the CAMPBELLFORD park (the coin was designed by a local artist).
What more do you need? .....A Pub, a Chocolate Factory and Dooher's Bakery!
The Wednesday night concert at the park gazebo ... We Listened to the music while relaxing on Thistle.
