Burleigh Falls
Burleigh Falls is both a geological feature and a small community in Peterborough County, Ontario, Canada. The falls form the boundary between the municipality of Trent Lakes to the north and the municipality of Selwyn to the south.
The falls (more accurately described as a chute or cascade,〔Harris, Mike. ("Burleigh Falls" ). ''Waterfalls of Ontario''.〕 since the drop in water level is more horizontal than vertical) are created by a narrowing in the flow of water between Lovesick Lake and Lower Buckhorn Lake on the west and Stoney Lake to the east.〔("Burleigh Falls" ). ''Go Waterfalling''.〕 At one time the landform was known as the "Burleigh chute".〔Angus, James T. ''A Respectable Ditch: A History of the Trent-Severn Waterway 1833-1920''. McGill-Queens University Press, Montreal and Kingston, 1988.〕
==Burleigh Falls bridge==
The bridge over the upper part of the cascade is part of Highway 28, a major north-south transportation route. Although the south and north shores are at one point less than 100m apart, the area is so riddled with large lakes and rivers that before the bridge was built the shortest distance by land between the two points was at that time more than 70 km., much of it without roads.〔''Illustrated Historical Atlas of Peterborough County 1825 - 1875''〕 Before the Kings Post Truss style iron bridge was built in the 1860s, travelers managed by crossing Stony Lake, by boat in the summer, and across the ice in winter.〔Lavery, Doug and Mary. "Up the Burleigh Road... beyond the boulders". Trent Valley Archives, Peterborough, Ontario〕
