Return to Buckhorn - 1971

This Super 8mm movie was shot in July 1971 at Buckhorn Narrows Campground, in Buckhorn, Ontario. The location is in the Kawartha Lakes region of Southern Ontario. Included in this are pictures of Buckhorn Lake, the Gannons Narrows Bridge, the Peterborough Lift Lock, and the tour of the Trent-Severn Canal from a tour boat in Downtown Peterborough, which shows the waterspray near Beavermead the CHEX-TV tower and studio facility; and Trent University where the tour boat turns around, to head back to go through the lift lock, then back to the mooring area downtown in Peterborough.

Also included are film segments of my father and his friend fishing for walleye at Buckhorn Lake, plus a site survey we did of what was to had been future places to go and rent a cabin, boat, etc. Unfortunately, my father (the white haired gentleman) died in 1976 and we never did go as a family to that part of Ontario after 1972.

This movie was shot on Super 8 film and thus has NO AUDIO on it. It is a historical record of my family and my parents friends from 1971, when we would vacation together.

Great stuff! Our family bought a cottage on Buckhorn Lake in 71'! We sold it only a few years ago. Spent most of my summers as a child on the lake. The best memories!
