Unique liftlock cruise in Ontario might be the best way to see beautiful fall colours
Lately, I've been looking at Ontario cruises, like an awesome five-day cruise that takes passengers past majestic Boldt Castle in the Thousand Islands region.
Or, the Ontario cruise along the Rideau that stops in Canada's most beautiful village.
But, if a five-day cruise is a bit out of your budget or a little longer than you'd prefer to spend on the water, this half-day cruise in Kawartha Region is a perfect and budget-friendly option to book for this fall when the fall colours will be at their best.
The Triple Crown Fall Colours Cruises, operated by Liftlock Cruises, offers a unique experience through the Otonabee River and the Trent University shoreline along the historic Trent-Severn Waterway.
The Trent-Severn Waterway was key to trading goods and services throughout our early years as settlers. It took a whopping 87 years to complete the waterway, and to this day, it provides enjoyment for boaters and allows visitors and locals to travel through the surrounding area.
Departing at 12:30 from Little Lake in the heart of Peterborough, this 3-hour cruise travels northbound up and over the world's highest hydraulic lift lock and up to Trent University.
The captain shares some informative commentary on the history of the waterway and how the locks operate, so you back and relax while you enjoy the scenic fall colours. Bring a picnic lunch or grab a snack onboard and bask in the radiant colours of the beautiful region.
At only $50 per person, this boat tour is selling out fast. If you want to secure your spot, you can go online or call the ticket office at (705) 742-9912.
Before or after your cruise, be sure to check out beautiful Peterborough, one of my favourite Ontario towns that doesn't always get the credit it's due. Enjoy the autumn air and grab a casual bite and have a refreshing drink at the Lighthouse Lounge & Grill looking over Little Lake.
Don't miss their Munchies Platter, perfect for sharing and packed with coconut shrimp, deep fried pickles, mozza sticks, and their locally renowned fries.
Or, visit the Riverview Park & Zoo, a favourite pitstop of ours with free admission and a chance to see super cool animals.
