TRENT-SEVERN WATERWAY

There are a total of 45 locks spread along the waterway, with Lock 32 located in Bobcaygeon.

In 1832, the government of Upper Canada constructed the first lock, Lock 32, in Bobcaygeon. This lock, along with the surrounding grist and sawmills established by Thomas Need, played a crucial role in the development of the village. Situated between Sturgeon and Pigeon Lakes, the lock system facilitated the growth of the lumber industry in the area.

Bobcaygeon has been recognized as a Trent-Severn Trail Town, offering opportunities for boating, paddling, cycling, hiking, and driving through a historic network of locks and charming communities with unique attractions for all visitors.

Uncover the rich heritage of the Bobcaygeon area.

Bobcaygeon was officially established as a village in the year 1876, earning the title of the “Hub of the Kawarthas”.

The name bob-ca-je-wan-unk is believed to have originated from the Mississauga Ojibway language. Another theory suggests that the name may have derived from the French term beau bocage, which translates to “beautiful hedged farmland”.

Thomas Need, an early settler who arrived in Bobcaygeon in 1832, is credited as the founder of the village. Need established essential facilities such as a sawmill, gristmill, and the first store

Photo Credit: ​Pat Sayer

to support the growing community. In 1844, Need decided to sell his successful business ventures to Mossom Boyd before returning to his home country of England.

Boyd then expanded the operation into a thriving logging enterprise, eventually becoming the third-largest logging business in Upper Canada.

The prosperity brought by Boyd’s enterprise attracted more settlers to the Bobcaygeon region, leading to its growth into one of the largest communities within the City of Kawartha Lakes.
