fishingwithbob Posted September 29, 2020 Report Posted September 29, 2020 Besides the obvious (fishing), anything interesting to do up around the Stoney Lake area? Going to be heading up soon since travel to the south is out. Never really spent much time in the area...
AKRISONER Posted September 29, 2020 Report Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) is there a specific reason you are gung ho on fishing stoney? There's such better fishing opportunities elsewhere nearby. Edited September 29, 2020 by AKRISONER
fishingwithbob Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Posted September 29, 2020 I did start out with "Besides the obvious (fishing)" I probably won't be doing any fishing, so I am asking about other things of interest in the area..... 1
lew Posted September 29, 2020 Report Posted September 29, 2020 If your looking for beautiful scenery it doesn't get much better than Burleigh Falls at the west end of Stoney but I could be biased as I only live a few minutes south of there but it's definitely a go-to spot for a lot of folks. Petroglyphs Provincial Park is just north of the lake and is really interesting and a great spot to take the whole family as just about anyone would find the rock carvings really interesting. https://www.ontarioparks.com/park/petroglyphs Peterboro has some really nice parkland along all their waterways and the Lift Locks are definitely worth the 40 minute or so drive to go see them. That's just a few things in the area that I find interesting anyways 1
fishingwithbob Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Posted September 29, 2020 Stop laughing misfish, you bought my fishing gear.. maybe I can borrow it :) 1
fishingwithbob Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Posted September 29, 2020 Thanks Lew, we are actually going to be pretty close to that park. I will drop you an email (if you are still using your old email from years ago)

ketchenany Posted September 30, 2020 Report Posted September 30, 2020 Go to ontariotravel.net I worked on their destination magazines for 24 years. It’s all there. Lew is right about Petroglyphs PP and the “locks” in Peterborough. The highest hydraulic lift lock in the world. at this time of year we would advertise “studio tours” but not now I think. the fall colours and back roads are exceptional.
captpierre Posted September 30, 2020 Report Posted September 30, 2020 I like going to the Curve Lake Reserve south of Buckhorn. The Whetung Centre is an art gallery and native craft store. Lots of authentic stuff from all over North America. Cheap gas too on reserve. Also take a drive to Bobcaygeon for some shopping and get a cone at Kawartha Dairies factory store. Peterborough Farmers Market on Saturday morning on Landsdowne. Lots of bike trails in Peterborough. Take a run up to Algonquin for a hike and check out visitor centre. 1
ketchenany Posted September 30, 2020 Report Posted September 30, 2020 Id you make it to Dorset at this time of year the tower above town is fascinating, colours are amazing, on clear day 60 miles! Robinsons Hardware store in Dorset is a must visit. Known worldwide.
mamona Posted October 1, 2020 Report Posted October 1, 2020 Dorset is closed https://www.algonquinhighlands.ca/dorset-lookout-tower.php Algonquin - I would avoid it during weekends, massive lineups 1

fishingwithbob Posted October 15, 2020 Author Report Posted October 15, 2020 Thanks for the visit Lew, was great to have a chat and catch up on life. Your new house is awesome. bob
lew Posted October 15, 2020 Report Posted October 15, 2020 Was a fun afternoon for sure Bob and good seeing you & the Mrs. again. 1
fishingwithbob Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) In case anyone stumbles across this and is looking for things to do, like we were.... Went for a nice stroll up Eels Creek to High Falls, was a good trail and I only got turned around once... https://www.alltrails.com/trail/canada/ontario/eels-creek-to-high-falls Think we will need to head back to this area again next year....
