Picton Harbour at Mouth of Marsh Creek

Picton Harbour on Lake Ontario

Picton, Ontario, Canada

Calm sheltered harbour in Picton where boats are docked and easily accessible from the boardwalk beside the Harbour Inn. The Marsh Creek empties into the bay here from under the roadway. Tests done at the end of the nearest dock on north end of boardwalk. Water fountain in the water nearby not close enough to influence our tests.

Overcast with no rain in past 24 hrs. Lots of seagulls flying around and on the water in the harbour. While testing and chatting with a couple of people on the dock a small mink came out of the water and walked along the dock unconcerned with us totally.

Sunny day with some wispy clouds forming and moderately windy…no rain in past 24 hrs. Some seagulls around and lots of heavy weeds, algae and surface scum in the section that gets no circulation of water once that fountain got removed again earlier this summer. Spoke about our testing with a nice couple visiting the area from Bobcageon and gave them a card to visit the website to learn more.

Overcast and raining currently with a bit of rain in past 24 hrs. Some ducks on the water. The fountain that is here that aerates this section of the harbour isn’t working now so more weeds accumulating.

Partly cloudy and not too windy. No rain in past 24 hrs. Fountain working in the middle after several years away and water quality appears to appreciate it.

Partly cloudy and no rain in past 24 hrs. Single swan swimming in the harbour with some brown cruddy chunks floating on the surface where the culvert enters from under the road. Someone watching us testing was interested to know what it was about so we chatted and gave him some WR info to follow up online.
