Rice Lake
Rice Lake is 23 miles long and three to four miles across, with no fewer than 20 islands of varying sizes providing a lovely scenic environment for all to enjoy. Connected to the Otonabee and Trent Rivers, Rice Lake is a major part of the scenic Trent-Severn Waterway, a 240-mile system of rivers, lakes, canals and locks, that stretches from Trenton on the Bay of Quinte to Port Severn on Georgian Bay.
The lake lies amid rolling farmland and hills wooded with maple, oak and pine. The shore is deeply indented, and in many places marshes rich with wildlife extend into the waters. A popular tourist spot, Rice Lake is bordered by a number of quaint villages and hamlets.
