Floating Bridge the Scugog Floating Bridge
PORT PERRY’S FLOATING BRIDGE THE SCUGOG FLOATING BRIDGE By J. Peter Hvidsten 01 PORT PERRY’S FLOATING BRIDGE PORT PERRY’S FLOATING BRIDGE Lake Scugog’s Floating Bridge By J. Peter Hvidsten 1 PORT PERRY’S FLOATING BRIDGE The first bridge to link Port Perry with Scugog Island was ricketty, unstable, and unreliable, but it was agreed by all, that the floating bridge was better than no bridge at all.

This all changed when William Purdy constructed a dam at what is now Lindsay. Purdy entered into an agreement with the government to build a saw mill and a grist mill on the Scugog River. Purdy’s dam and the saw mill were completed by September, 1828. The water eventually filled the millpond to capacity in April, 1829. -

Shadow Lake and Silver Lake Watershed Characterization Report
Silver and Shadow Lakes Watershed Characterization Report 2018 About Kawartha Conservation Who we are We are a watershed-based organization that uses planning, stewardship, science, and conservation lands management to protect and sustain outstanding water quality and quantity supported by healthy landscapes. Why is watershed management important? Abundant, clean water is the lifeblood of the Kawarthas. It is essential for our quality of life, health, and continued prosperity. It supplies our drinking water, maintains property values, sustains an agricultural industry, and contributes to a tourism-based economy that relies on recreational boating, fishing, and swimming. Our programs and services promote an integrated watershed approach that balance human, environmental, and economic needs. The community we support We focus our programs and services within the natural boundaries of the Kawartha watershed, which extend from Lake Scugog in the southwest and Pigeon Lake in the east, to Balsam Lake in the northwest and Crystal Lake in the northeast – a total of 2,563 square kilometers. Our history and governance In 1979, we were established by our municipal partners under the Ontario Conservation Authorities Act. The natural boundaries of our watershed overlap the six municipalities that govern Kawartha Conservation through representation on our Board of Directors. Our municipal partners include the City of Kawartha Lakes, Region of Durham, Township of Scugog, Township of Brock, Municipality of Clarington, Municipality of Trent Lakes, and Township of Cavan Monaghan.

3.0 Study Area Description and Existing Conditions
3.0 STUDY AREA DESCRIPTION AND EXISTING CONDITIONS This chapter looks at existing environmental conditions and the natural and cultural heritage of Port Perry and the Lake Scugog watershed in general. For the purpose of this report, the information provided in sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 came primarily from the review of existing documents with a majority of the information coming from the Lake Scugog Environmental Management Plan. 3.1 PHYSIOGRAPHY AND HYDROLOGY 3.1.1 PHYSIOGRAPHY The physiographic characteristics of the Port Perry area are the result of glacial activity during the Pleistocene Epoch (2.6 million to 12,000 years before present). The primary physiographic units represented in and around the Port Perry area are; the Oak Ridges Moraine located to the south the Peterborough Drumlin Field located north of the Moraine, west of Port Perry, and to the east of Lake Scugog toward Peterborough; and the Schomberg Clay Plain, which represents the Port Perry urban area and the areas around and to the north of Lake Scugog. The Oak Ridges Moraine to the south of Port Perry is roughly 225 meters above Lake Ontario and has a surface of sand overlaying lacustrine silts and clays. The Oak Ridges Moraine is a significant geological feature and aquifer recharge area where many of the headwaters of local streams and rivers, including the Nonquon River and Osler Marsh, are located (Chapman & Putnam, 1984). Drumlin fields located close to the Moraine, such as those found within the Port Perry watersheds, are often covered by shallow layers of silt and fine sand deposited by wind. -
