Bobcaygeon sits at the heart of the Kawartha Lakes at Mile 137.9. The town is built on three islands with the lock running through its centre. Gordon Yacht Harbour claims the longest and best boating season in the Kawarthas due to 200+ sq mi of controlled water levels between the Bobcaygeon and Buckhorn locks.
Gordon Yacht Harbour is the quintessential small-town Kawarthas marina. Over a century of boating heritage shows — this isn't a corporate operation, it's a genuine waterfront community. The marina store sells Bobcaygeon Brewery craft beer alongside marine supplies, which tells you everything about the vibe.
Below Lock 32, straightforward approach. Watch the 4-foot dockside depth — this is a real constraint for deeper-draft vessels. The 10 transient slips fill quickly in summer, especially on weekends. Call ahead or arrive early.
Gas only — no diesel. If you need diesel, plan your fill-up at Peterborough (downstream) or Buckhorn Yacht Harbour (upstream). The marina store has snacks, marine supplies, and cold craft beer for provisioning.
Bobcaygeon is one of the most pleasant overnight stops on the TSW. Quiet, charming, walkable. The cottage rentals on-site are a nice option if you want a night off the boat. Downtown has several good restaurants and the Bobcaygeon Farmers' Market on Saturdays.
