Coboconk Ontario Canada - Fresh Water Summit Festival!

Coboconk Ontario Unique Port : Natural Singularity – Highest Canadian Navigable Water !

Coboconk – All Downstream From Here!

Coboconk, Ontario celebrates its natural singularity each year. In the serene waters of Balsam Lake, in the heart of the Trent-Severn Waterway, by seaworthy vessel. Whether you travel west toward Lake Simcoe or east into Cameron Lake, both ways are downstream from Balsam Lake.
Coboconk,City of Kawartha Lakes offers skippers four opportunities:

1. Go east to the Atlantic Ocean,
2. Go west to the Pacific Ocean,
3. Go south to the Caribbean Sea or
4. Go north to the Arctic Ocean.

What makes this most unique is the fact that from this point, one can circumnavigate the world, by seaworthy vessel, without ever having to travel on land.

While there are two higher global navigable rivers, after the Coon Rapids Dam, Mississippi River, and the Danube River where it connects with the Rhine Main Danube Canal in Kelheim Bavaria, Germany, the next highest point of fresh water in the world is Balsam Lake  in Kawartha Lakes.

Each year in June, Coboconk invites you to help celebrate Canada’s Fresh Water Summit,with a full slate of fun family activities. Several businesses have generously sponsored a page in Lures & Tours Sport Fishing Recreational and Tourism Directory to help more people find out about this unique event.
