Acountdeleted Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Next weekend for Walleye opener I was thinking of taking my canoe to Rice lake for some early morning fishing. I'll be coming from Peterborough as I'm visiting with a friend for her house warming. The problem that I'm having is that every website that I look at that describes Rice Lakes boat launches don't say weather a launch is public or at a Marina. I figure if I can save a few bucks and use a public one (or even toss my canoe in at a public park) I would do that. But I don't want to be driving around for 2 hours just to save a few bucks. Can someone give me some advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ld17 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Gores landing is 5 bucks. Nice launch and facilities. Give them a call to make sure the price is still the same. Well worth the peace of mind for the parking. If you ask around the area there is a free launch but I don't remember the road. It will accommodate your canoe just fine if you don't want to pay the 5 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeds Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Funny stuff. I'm in the exact same situation as you, except I'm heading out tomorrow. I too am looking for a spot to launch a canoe. I can remember years ago putting in a friends 12 foot tinner at a free little launch somewhere on the North side of the Lake but I have no idea where. I plan on launching at the free launch at the bottom of wood duck drive off county road 2. I have no idea if it will prove to be a good spot. Ron, if you'd care to share the wealth with me too that would be great, if not, that's cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janborkowski Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Any of you guys ever fish at Indian River and Trans Canada HWY? Or there a bouts? I am heading there tomorrow, just to explore and see how the fish bite. I don't have a boat. Do you know of any place I can park and fish? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Campbelltown - on the Otonabee, couple of k.m.s from the lake. Keene - again, couple of k.m.s from the lake. Birdsalls - east end near ouse river. Hiawatha - mid-lake near the sunken rail line. Probably your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnet Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 The only 1 ron missed is downtown Keene turn left at lights about 200 ft on right. Doesn't matter for you in canoe but a boat you will need to turn right don't go straight. The best for canoe walleye is Pengallie or Hiawatha.
