Rice Lake, Skywatch Friday

I took this when we were out on the boat on Rice Lake.

Rice Lake is just down  the Trent River from us in Hastings. It's a long thin shallow lake, 20 miles long, 3miles wide and 6-9 feet deep. Part of the 380km long Trent Severn Waterway that connects Georgian Bay in the north to Lake Ontario in the south. It's popular for boating, fishing and just holiday making with many resorts around the shore.

This is a stitched panoramic shot of the area just south of Rice Lake. The roads wind along every now and then giving you a glimpse of the lake.
Rice Lake is named after the wild rice that used to grow there and be harvested by First Nations people. Now it's a vacation destination especially for fishermen and boaters
