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.

Took several readings to be sure and all were high so could be correct.
