Things To Do This Summer!<br />
There is lots to see and do this summer in the<br />
beautiful North <strong>Kawartha</strong> Lakes, in between<br />
relaxing dock time or fantastic fishing and<br />
boating on the pristine lakes.<br />
Things to Do:<br />
July 1: Fireworks in Norland at Ward Park – begin at<br />
dusk.<br />
July 13 & 14: the Norland Summer Festival features<br />
vendors/crafters and displays and the amazing 50<br />
ft. inflatable obstacle for children and inflatable for<br />
toddlers all weekend long. Saturday showcases the<br />
horseshoe tournament, lob ball tournament, and the<br />
ever-popular Roast Beef dinner with the Crazy Loonies<br />
game to follow. Sunday features the return of the<br />
popular Redneck Ruckus Demolition Derby by Impact<br />
Motor Sports (with new bleacher seating) and new this<br />
year…the Rat Rod Car show.<br />
Have some Golfing Fun at the Monck’s Landing Golf<br />
& Event Venue or Coby GoKarts, Mini Golf and Ice<br />
Cream, with an inflatables park for the kids.<br />
Looking for trails? Try out Balsam Lake Provincial<br />
Park, Indian Point Provincial Park, Queen Elizabeth<br />
II Wildlands Provincial Park, and the Altberg Wildlife<br />
Sanctuary Nature Reserve.<br />
And bird watchers can visit the Carden Alvar in<br />
Kirkfield that features rare species of invertebrates,<br />
wildflowers, native grasses, and birds.<br />
Sites to See:<br />
For the historian in the group, the Balsam Lake Dry<br />
Stone Wall is a fantastic example of a Scottish dry<br />
stone wall still intact today and built by George<br />
Laidlaw in the 1870s, and the historic Lime Kilns still<br />
overlooking Coboconk remind us of how limestone<br />
played a crucial part in the village’s history. Canada’s<br />
Smallest Jail in Coboconk also has some interesting<br />
stories to tell.<br />
Last, but not least, a must-see is the Kirkfield Lift Lock.<br />
Built in the early 1900s, it physically raises and lowers<br />
to move boats through a change in elevation on the<br />
Trent-Severn Waterway and has a number of features of<br />
interest to bridge enthusiasts. It is an amazing feat of<br />
engineering.<br />
