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.

Sunny windy day with no rain in past 24 hours. A few Canada Geese out in the harbour on the water. Low level of water in the section where there used to be a fountain set up. Lots of brown clumpy scum floating around in this area...weird looking stuff!
Hazy day with moderate winds and no rain in past 24 hours. Lots of seagulls and ducks sitting out on the thin ice that still remains further out in the harbour. Water appears quite greenish and murky . Very low levels and no flow through the culvert here. A lone fisherman along the shore. Note: Not sure why the conductivity reading was so much higher than normally found here....could be my metre doing something whacky? Took several readings to be sure and all were high so could be correct.
Partly cloudy and calm. No rain in past 24 hours. Lots of seagulls flying around and on the water. Harbour where creek enters the culvert under the road is lowest I’ve seen it with mud bottom showing now.
