Northumberland Paddling Routes - Route 7


Difficulty: Easy, but be aware and respectful of power boat traffic.

Distance: Approximately 3km round-trip around Percy Boom – but as short or as long as you wish.  Consider coupling your journey with camping at Lock 8.  The bottom of the lock has a huge grassy, treed area level with the water.

Portages: None

Shuttle Info: Round trip – no shuttle required.

Directions: 12 minutes south of Campbellford. Map Link.

Best Time to Go: You'll share the waters with some larger boat traffic when locks are open May to October.  Even when the locks aren't operational, this route is always accessible without any portaging if you put in at the boat launch at the lower side of Lock 8
