Thinking about joining us in this quiet, beautiful town on the waters of the Trent River. It is primarily a residential area with a limited amount of businesses. Here folks take pride in their properties and home where gardening is a major hobby. In addition there is golf, tennis, swimming, boating, softball, basketball, hiking, cycling, jogging, photography, painting, quilting, bridge etc. Pictured below are some of the facilities, homes and businesses that contribute to the quality of life in River Bend. Our major shopping centers, post office, airport, lodging facilities and hospital, are all within a 15 minute drive.

Normally, winters in River Bend are quite mild allowing for outside activities twelve months a year. Occasionally however we do get snow which does not last more than a day or two. During 1987 we experienced a blizzard. A few years later we had very cold weather which caused the canals to freeze over providing residents with a chance to do some ice skating. I had to chop out the ice around my boat in order to prevent damage. Pictured below are pictures of the snow left by a storm during December 2000.
January 2002 provided us with some more snow to start the new year. Actually we have only had snow five times during the past fifteen years. The snow never lasts long as it is gone within a day or two due to the warming effects of the Gulf Stream.
