July 26 - Lock 8 to Rice Lake, Ontario

This morning was very foggy, but by the time we entered Lock 8, it had cleared and we had another sunny day. We went through a total of 11 locks. This included two double locks as can be seen in the picture to the right. After clearing one lock, the doors opened and we entered the next lock. The picture on the right was taken from the top of the second lock.
The area through which we are boating is one of the premier vacation areas in Ontario. Many cottages, house trailers and year around homes, with many pontoons and fishing boats could be seen.
English heritage pops here and there,
including in games. A lawn bowling contest was taking place in the town of Campbellford.

Seven years ago, when doing our first Great Loop trip, we spend the night at the Golden Beach Resort on Rice Lake. We much enjoyed this stay and decided to return there for the night.
