Kayaking the Trent River\Trent Severn Canal

We stayed at Ferris Provincial Park during the last week of our holidays. It's located on the Trent River/Trent Severn Canal by Campbellford, ON. We were really looking forward to launching at the park and doing some kayak fishing. The launch was nice and put us in the Trent River near Lock 13, below Ranney Falls. We tried to paddle upriver to the base of the falls, but the current was too strong so we turned around at the suspension bridge. Here are some photos of our first trip out:

We did catch some fish while we were out, nothing large. Here are some photos:

While we were out, a yacht locked through at Lock 13. We watched the process from our kayaks. It was pretty cool and a totally different perspective witnessed from the seat of a kayak on the water!

And here are some other photos from our time kayaking the Trent River:

 

We didn't have much time at Ferris Provincial Park, so our time out kayaking went by pretty quickly. There are other public launches in the area above Lock 13, so we found out later. Both of us would love to come back here and kayak more in the future. If we do, I'm sure we'll camp at Ferris again. It was a lovely park.
