ROW TO WINDERMERE
This is a long row where we begin and end in Port Carling. We start by rowing up through the locks in Port Carling, then we wind our way through many islands on Lake Rosseau to end up one of our rowers cottages on Tobins Island across from Windermere Manor for a rest, washroom break and refreshments. The row starts at noon on Sunday August 11th from Hatchets Rowing Centre. For more details visit the event webpage here!
