Lindsay established in 1857 was once an important logging and railway centre and its waters were home to many a variety of steamboats. The waterways were a traffic route for steamboats carrying passengers and cargo between many of the waterway communities.
Today, Lindsay (now part of the City of Kawartha Lakes) is a beautiful town situated on the River Scugog between Sturgeon Lake and Lake Scugog. Picturesque as ever, Lindsay boasts one of the widest downtown streets in Canada, unique Victorian architecture, a 3000 foot board walk along the winding river system flowing through the town and one of the many Trent-Severn Canal resting places for boaters navigating these waterways.
Lindsay a popular vacation and recreational region with many a popular fishing hole, is best know as the gateway to the Kawarthas. "Kawatha" from the native word meaning "bright waters and happy lands" was transformed by two pioneer sisters a century and a half ago who wrote in their journals of the splendour and dramatic shinning waters, the Kawartha Lakes, extending from Georgian Bay to Lake Ontario.
