Lake Simcoe, ON to Swift Rapids Lock, ON

Miles Traveled 42.0
Total Miles Traveled 5445
Day 318

We were on Lake Simcoe before 7 a.m. this morning with the wind and waves at our back.



After crossing the lake we continued on the canal system, and a few other smaller lakes.





We are starting to see more rock as we get closer to the Georgian Bay.




We are at the top of Lock #43, the Swift Rapids Lock with a drop of 47 feet.  When lowering boats in the lock, the water is diverted below the canal level causing considerable turbulence.
