We went for a late lunch up to Lake on the Mountain. We sat on the patio and could either look across Lake on the Mountain beside the restaurant, or across the road and down onto Glenora where the car ferry goes back and forth all year round.
Lake on the Mountain, although 100 feet above Glenora and the Narrows draining the Bay of Quinte into Lake Ontario, never goes down whether in late summer nor in drought. It is said to be at least 400 feet deep out in the centre and closer to the north west side. It may even be fed by springs originating from Lake ON.
I know when I lived on Smith Bay, northwest of Waupoos I could feel the springs there whenever I swam across one, and there were several, so it could easily be that Lake/Mtn. is fed the same way.
Those springs made it possible for the fish born in Smith Bay to be unpoluted, according to tests down by the fisheries in the 1980's.
Good swimming; good fishing; good living; good neighbours; and lots of wild animals, wildflowers, birdlife, and beautiful butterflies and insects.
