Fall Excursion Sunday Paddle at Chaffey’s Lock/Opinicon Lake

Paddle through Chaffey’s Lock to Opinicon Lake. From the swing bridge at Chaffey's Lock, one can easily visualize the history of the quiet lock station. For over a century, steamers passed through the lock gates towing barges loaded with cordwood, cheese and grain.  Nestled within the picturesque Rideau Waterway in Ontario, Canada, Opinicon Lake is a gem among a chain of stunning lakes interconnected by the historic Rideau Canal.
