Shore diving near Peterborough?

[tw0rk0wsk1]

Hi,

Could anyone suggest any good dive sites
near Peterborough? I know about Burleigh Falls and have been there (rather murky nowadays) but fun.

I have heard that Chandos Lake is quite nice and has a decent wall/drop off but have no idea where to go here.

Can any other recommendations be made for the Peterborough, Buckhorn, Lakefield area (lets say 30-45 minutes drive). Please provide detailed description of the
entry point and the conditions.

I am happy to dive for the underwater scenary (rock formations) and fish.

Thanks in advance.

There seems to be few places that arent murky and gross these days. Whenever its clear, the river just above trent U (or even some places below it) can be decent enough - not deep at all though, tops about 20 feet. The water is just too warm and crappy (litterally) these days to want to get in anywhere around here.

You can try the bridge at Gannons Narrows - wait till boat traffic is down and use a flag. Always good there for lures and anchors.

We used to hit some of the colder lakes to the north of there - Jacks lake, Coon Lake etc. - some nice fish there.

If you want to do a day trip - go east to Kaladar - turn north and go to the provincial park up that way - I forget the name but it is on the map - really nice wall dive there right off the beach. Have to pay for parking in the park lot.

Not a lot but something to try anyway.

Bon Echo Park I think is what you are referring too.
