Trent Severn Waterway to Bobcaygeon, Lock 32
Wednesday, July 18. . We followed the narrow, often twisty channel today through a couple of lakes, an area called Hell’s Gate, and a lock named “Lovesick Lock 30.” (According to Dozier’s Waterway Guide, this is the most remote of all the locks, named for an Indian boy spurned by a redheaded Irish Girl.) We have clearly entered the We were lucky to find a place for three Looper boats to tie up at the Bobcaygeon lock wall. It is one of the most popular villages on the Trent-Severn, attracting not only boaters, but other tourists as well. The guys entertained themselves while the girls hit the shops (we loved the flower boxes everywhere). We gathered for a delicious fish and chips supper at the popular Just for the Halibut restaurant, a quick grocery run, then on to bed. Wish we could stay here longer, but the calendar days keep turning.
