The development of the North Bay Waterfront required the construction of a sheltered harbour for small craft. Rock that had been excavated when the NORAD underground site was built was moved from near Trout lake to the waterfront and dumped into Lake Nipissing to form the breakwall in the photograph.
The small boat marina has spaces for 250 craft.

The old Chief Commanda served as a cruise boat on Lake Nipissing for many years. It is now dry-docked on the waterfront and serves as a restaurant and fresh pickerel market.
It was replaced by the “New Chief” in about 1974.

When summer comes, this is very, very good!

Very delicate.

Ice Follies is back on Lake Nipissing. Two years ago I wrote THIS . Smaller this year but enjoyable none-the-less.
I spent an enjoyable time on the ice today making photos of the constructions.
Looks like a building from a distance.
Isn’t.
