Le Boat is thrilled to reveal that the cruising season along the Trent-Severn Waterway will now be extended, offering visitors the chance to enjoy a mini-cruise and soak in the stunning autumnal hues of Ontario’s scenic waterway. This prolongation means the season will continue until October 31, 2024, inviting travelers to indulge in the distinct charm of fall as they navigate through this celebrated national historic site in Canada.
“Fall is an incredibly special time to explore the Trent-Severn Waterway,” said Lisa McLean, North American Marketing Manager and Head of Canada at Le Boat. “We are thrilled to extend our cruising season to offer guests a chance to enjoy the vibrant fall foliage and serene waterways, alongside the charm of small towns like Hastings and Peterborough.”
Fall in the Kawarthas-Northumberland region is highly regarded by local fishing enthusiasts as a prime time for angling. This period is particularly special due to the spectacular transformation of the landscape with vivid autumn colors. The season brings vibrant leaves, cooler nights, and fresh, crisp air, creating ideal conditions for fishing, as fish increase their activity in preparation for the colder months ahead.
Autumn Cruising Highlights:
- Exploring the Trent-Severn Waterway: Traverse the historic Trent-Severn Waterway, a celebrated route that links Lake Ontario with Georgian Bay. This autumn journey showcases the serene Rice Lake and winds through idyllic landscapes adorned with fall’s vibrant colors.
- Discover Rice Lake: Journey south along the Otonabee River to the expansive and peaceful Rice Lake, nestled in Northumberland’s northeast frontier. Spanning 56 km, it presents abundant aquatic adventures for water enthusiasts.
- A Top Fishing Haven: For over a century and a half, Rice Lake in Ontario has been renowned as a top fishing destination. It is populated with a variety of fish species including walleye, muskie, bass, and panfish, providing perfect conditions whether you are an experienced fisher or a novice seeking a relaxing weekend.
- Visit Hastings: Just 56 km from the Le Boat base and positioned at the edge of Rice Lake, the charming town of Hastings straddles the Trent-Severn Waterway. Known as “The Hub of the Trent” and connected by a historic swing bridge at Lock 18, Hastings was named Canada’s Ultimate Fishing Town in 2012 by the World Fishing Network, offering excellent fishing for species such as muskie, walleye, and bass.
