Out on the water

Pedal’n’Paddle offers many ways to explore Little Lake and the river

Lloyd Graham from Pedal’n’Paddle recently welcomed Moe Grant as a partner in the business. Pedal’n’Paddle offers canoe/kayak/bicycle/pedal boat rentals from The Boat House at Millennium Park, just below the Silver Bean.

They have just added a beautiful pontoon boat to their fleet and are offering a 30 minute trip around the lake, taxi service to Rogers Cove, Locks 19 and 20, Beavermead, the Best Western, the Holiday Inn and Peterborough Marina, or lunch on the lake with a 40 minute tour of Little Lake, a sandwich and a beverage.

Plus they have introduced a river run experience where they’ll transport you and a kayak or canoe up to Trent University, or to Lakefield, and you make your way down the river and canal, back to Millennium Park. Check it out at www.peterboroughpedalnpaddle.com

Congratulations to Milltown Mini Golf on 33 years of success on Lansdowne Street. Owners Barry and Lynda Cross recently announced that the property has been sold to a developer, and thus, this summer is your last chance to play this fun course.

Barry and Lynda have not only entertained thousands of people for those 33 years, but have also helped local charities raised tens of thousands of dollars as well.

So give Milltown one more visit this summer and a tip of the hat to Lynda and Barry Cross… www. milltownminigolf.com.
