The Rideau Canal Waterway consists of a series of lakes and rivers connected by canals that stretches from Kingston to Ottawa in Ontario, Canada. Cranberry Lake, just outside of Gananoque is part of the Rideau Waterway, which is boaters' paradise. An old swing bridge over the lake allows car traffic to and from the rustic cabins on the lake, and boat traffic on the waterway. A bridgekeeper opens an closes the bridge as needed. Once a manual operation, an electronic system lets the bridge to open or close in just over a minute. After spending a lovely summer weekend on Cranberry Lake, I decided to share this quaint swing bridge, which speaks of slow relaxing summer days at a Canadian cabin.
