Fenelon Falls, Ontario

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fenelon Falls is a small town in Ontario, Canada. Known as the "Jewel of the Kawarthas," it has a population of 1,800 and is now amalgamated into the administrative city of Kawartha Lakes. Fenelon Falls is home to lock 34 on the Trent-Severn Waterway between Sturgeon Lake and Cameron Lake. It is primarily a tourist town and so is most active during the summer season. The main street of Fenelon Falls is called Colborne Street.

The eponymous falls are hidden from public view, but are easily viewed with ease from a nearby restaurant, or perfectly from board walk below the falls, which follows a path to the end of the island, and back around to the locks on the other side. There is a main road that goes over the river, but that is just upstream. The town elders did not want to move the road to offer a more prominent scenic view because of the potential cost.

Fenelon Falls Secondary School also had an undefeated football season, with their crowning acheivement being the COSSA title. They also had a championship level curling team which performed extremely well at provincial level events during the last few years.
