The Ennismore Journal-New hiking/walking trail coming to Gannon’s Narrows property

Ever heard of the John Earle Chase Memorial Park? You should. You most likely drive past it all the time if you live in Ennismore or Buckhorn. Recognize this sign?

This property is a 400 acre site that was donated to the Trent Severn Waterway also known as Parks Canada in 1995 by Ralph and Evenlyn Chase. The family requested that the property be named in honour of fallen brother John Earle Chase who died in World War II.  This property will be held and maintained by the Crown never to be sold or developed. It is to be left in a natural state as open space.

A group of 8 members called the Buckhorn Trails Association started to have meetings with the Trent Severn Waterway  about upgrading the property with walking trails. The Kawartha Land Trust got involved along with Trent Lakes Municipality and things started to happen!

Volunteers and some help from the workers of the municipality are currently marking trails and a parking lot will be installed on the property. This will give the public excellent access to the property while ensuring the property is left in its natural state.

You are invited to come enjoy this property for walking, hiking, skiing or snowshoeing says Kawartha Land Trust. Enjoy these activities while respecting the natural area and the wildlife who calls this area home.

On June 2/2018 the Grand Opening of the Chase Trails will commence at 1:00PM. This will help celebrate International Trails Day. Brief remarks and a guilted nature walk will be part of the grand opening!

The Ennismore Journal-After storm erosion on the Gannon Narrows Bridge and James A Gifford Causeway, Lakefield Farmers Market Finds, Lobsterfest and Ptbo County Environmental Days

As some of you can remember about a month ago we had a terrific wind storm that caused damage to many roofs in the area. What also got damaged was our bridges over Pigeon/Buckhorn Lakes and Chemong Lake.

Gannon’s Narrows Bridge. Some Guard Rail post have eroded to the bottom of the post

The James A. Gifford Causeway has suffered the same damage on sections of the causeway. I looked in the water to see where the rocks fell. I could not see any. Not sure how far they were carried.

Lakefield Farmers Market

We attended the Lakefield Farmers Market today. The market is small but selections and finds were large. We purchased jams, lettuce, plants and most exciting products from Hard Winter Bread Company. (Cookies, carrot cake and wood fired granola). This market is worth the visit!
