Made famous by The Tragically Hip’s rhyme with “constellations,” Bobcaygeon rests upon three islands right at the meeting point of Sturgeon and Pigeon Lakes. These two waterbodies create the distinctive zig-zag pattern of the Kawartha Lakes section of the Trent-Severn Waterway.
The key to micro-adventuring with kids is to set yourselves up so you can surf the chaos when it happens. And sometimes, picking the right place is all the help you need to enjoy both the plan and the un-planned parts of your trip.
Nogies Creek is one of our reflective paddling spots right in our back yard; located near Highway 36 between Buckhorn and Bobcaygeon, it’s less than 45 minutes from downtown Peterborough.
Great paddling routes don’t just “happen.” It takes a network of people interested in developing them. There is an amazing network of cyclists in Kawarthas Northumberland, all of them discovering, developing and planning amazing cycling routes.
