Grandkids Cruise-Orillia—Trent Severn Waterway-Part-5

The Stretch from Fenelon Falls to Orillia Was the Last Leg of Our Boat Trip.

Grandkids Cruise-Orillia. We will pull the boat out here to drive to the Big Chute to see the boats being carried over land. If we had gone with PLAN A, the Big Chute would have been our first lock, instead of our last.

On this day we had fun taking the Kirkfield Lift Lock (below). This lock is similar to the one in Peterborough.

Look what we spotted today (above).

We immediately stocked up on Butter Tarts, while exploring downtown and the big park by the marina. We also managed a visit with friends, Mark and Jodi on our last night on the boat, in the water.

We talked about these butter tarts the whole trip. The kids were pretty excited to finally get some. We’ve had a lot of butter tarts when in Canada, but the ones in Orillia are by far the best! We never miss a trip to Wilkie’s Bakery to buy at least a dozen tarts.

Another beautiful park is right by the marina. Canadians know how to create spaces for family recreation.

Our friends, Mark and Jodi, were instrumental in helping us position our truck and trailer, at the beginning of our trip.
