Lake Scugog is a lake near Toronto. It actually started as a river but a dam created in the 1800s near Lindsay created the lake. The water levels rose wiping out the cranberry and wild rice crops of the Native Canadian people living in the area. The farmers lost many acreage of crop land as well. There is a road that is called the causeway in Port Perry that joins the land to Scugog Island. It is a picturesque drive for a Sunday afternoon. Port Perry's main street has some interesting stores which make the trip fun. Of course good old fashioned Canadian Fish and Chips can be found in several locations. So why not take a drive east and north of Toronto to discover this little community.
Palmer Park is a good place to have a little picnic if a restaurant is not for you.
I love the architecture of old towns. The brick work is so Victorian period. The walk on the main street is not long so can be enjoyed in a short time before the drive home.
What a nice article about our wonderful town of Port Perry!
