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!

The Ennismore Journal: Ward St Widening Meeting, Tamarac Golf Club Deals, Overhead Shots of Bridgenorth and the Causeway

Ward St Widening-There is a meeting scheduled to discuss and inform the public on the study of widening Ward St. This meeting will take place at the Chemong Public School Auditorium. The date is May 31/2018 from 4pm to 7pm. Worth the visit!



Tamarac Golf Club- Tamarac is near and dear to my heart as this is my "home" golf course. I call it my "home" golf course as it was my first play and membership. I have not been golfing for awhile but I might go for a round with these deals! Keep in mind if you had a bad experience at Tamarac in the past like I did, there is new owners working hard to get your business back.



Overhead Shots of Bridgenorth and Chemong Lake- I hope you enjoy these shots!

The Ennismore Journal-How lucky we are in Ennismore to have the Robert E. Young Recreation Complex

Every community requires recreation and leisure opportunities. Having a healthy complex promotes play as an important role in our community. The complex also promotes physical activity, healthy lifestyles, to interact with one another, and to appreciate our natural environment.
In Ennismore we have this complex known as the Robert E. Young Recreation Complex. You can find this recreation comlex the 553 Ennis Road in Ennismore Ontario. This complex offers many different activities and playing surfaces. Of coarse everyone knows the hockey arena and the curling club.

Looking past the two major buildings you will find a basket ball court, tennis courts, play grounds, two ball diamonds, soccer pitches and a tractor pull track for the Shamrock Festival.
Check out the area from the sky!
