Transmission Lines   

On Grand Lake looking up the Barron River towards Clemow Lake in Algonquin Park.

The transmission lines in the middle distance cut a scar across Algonquin Park, providing southern Ontario with power from the Swisha Dam (des Joachims). An impenetrable mass of water lilies clogs the Barron River at this location; to proceed upstream, a one kilometer portage is necessary.
