Ganaraska River

There is truly amazing fishing opportunities in the Port Hope area. The Ganaraska River flows through the centre of town, into Lake Ontario. A cold water stream coming from the Oak Ridges Moraine, the river maintains low 60°F temperatures throughout the hot summer. The low temperatures and clean unpolluted water is what combines to make this
                               one of the unique cold water salmonoid rivers of the Lake Ontario
                               tributaries

The Dressler House currently serves as home to Cobourg's Economic Development and Tourism department, the visitor information centre and the Business Self-Help Office and showcases a remarkable display of memorabilia from the Actress' past.

The museum collects, preserves and exhibits a collection of fire fighting apparatus (7-10 motorized trucks dated 1921-1956, hand-drawn and horse-drawn apparatus), as well as fire equipment, photographs and other related materials to tell the story of fire-fighting in ealier times.

Better than a history book

The gentleman in the photo above rediscovered his first firetruck - the one he drove as a young fireman with the Oshawa Fire Department. You can guess that Grandpa and grandson had a wonderful time at the museum. Sometimes, magic happens.

Along with the opportunity to use some of the earlier equipment, there is an area where active restoration can be observed and a gift shop on the grounds.

The museum is wheelchair accessible and group tours are welcome. The museum is open from 10am to 4pm, seven days a week, between June 1st and September 30th. Admission is free; donations, retired colleagues and storytellers are welcome.
