"Bobcaygeon, is one of our
favourite villages in the Kawarthas."

Bobcaygeon has always been a soft spot in our hearts. This small town was always our summer cottage hometown for more than 43 years. This village is truly unique with friendly people. After a half hour drive from Omemee or Lindsay we'd know the village is just over the hill as we'd drive past Edgetown Ford on our right. The beauty of this charming village is the view from the top of the hill on highway 36. Just as we'd pass Teeuwen Turner Moore on the left, we'd begin the decent down the long hill into a slow, relaxed paced hidden village.

What we think is so special about this village is the 7 bridges that cross over lakes, rivers and channels that all join this village together. Without realizing we drive over three islands.

Sturgeon Lake flows into Pigeon Lake and bordered on either side is Big Bob and Little Bob channel.

We love to take our visitors and family to the downtown Trent Canal waterways locks and watch the boats line up to cross from Pigeon Lake to Sturgeon Lake or vice versa. Sometime we see an enormouse boat just fit into the ten foot drop lock.

When we've had enough of the boat expeditions, we'd walk over the swing bridge and end up right downtown. Our brother- in-law from Holland once said " It looks like Disney Land".

During the summer months it gets busy in that little town and many family members want to visit Bobcaygeon. When we are overloaded with visitors we always recommend the Princess Motel.

In our research we found a little interesting history about this unique village we did not know about.

We are so excited to learn that the Medical and Professional Building at 100 East Street South is being constructed. On their site it says they are building state of the art family medical center with a full range of complementary health services including dentistry, chiropody, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, massage therapy, an on-site pharmacy, and more. How exciting is that?
