Where are you refering to?

Picard lake has some spots in it that are supposed to be around 200 feet.

That is what I have been told by locals.

it is about 1/2 way between bobcaygeon and buckhorn. off of the 507

I hope thats not like the 130 feet we heard about in the quary at havelock. I think we topped out at 19 feet that day.

Hi

If interested you can try to find the Fenlon Falls train car that is just located down from the falls about 1/2 mile, it sits in about 65 feet of water laying against the wall at the bottom. There are two out cropping cliffs you will need to dive over to reach the bottom. I dove this about four years ago and the train car is sitting up against the wall and this is a pitch black scarry dive.

Being interested in the historical aspect of what I dive how did these Train cars get there? Was there a bridge that they tumbled off or where they just dumped there?

I asked an old-timer in the town of Fenelon if he knew, his response was that some kids had let the brakes off the cars and somehow they ended up in the river. Another individual told me there was a bridge crossing the river and it collapsed while the train was passing over it - I don't think I believe this theory given there is no steam engine present.

Can you get to these from shore easily? Might be worth taken some video of.

The one rail car we dive on is about 1/4 mile down stream from the locks. The area around it is all private property.

You'll need lights , it's black tanin stained water.
