Fairy Lake Park, Newmarket, Ontario
Fairy Lake is man made, created in 1801 by a dam on the East Holland River. Originally Fairy Lake was a mill pond but now it's part of a public park with hiking trails, pavilions, picnic tables, and washrooms.
I took the photo because I was intrigued by the reflection of the bank and tree trunks in the river, but you can also see the reflection of the bridge obscured by the tree branches.
I am linking to Watery Wednesday where you can find many more watery photos.

Fairy Lake? Oh my, I want to visit just because of the name.
Love the reflections - and I'm trying to spot the fairies.

Thanks for the explanation since I could not find the bridge that made the reflection. Very interesting name, and the park is a lovely gift for the people.
Shadows and reflections - two of your specialties, I think. It is such a beautiful place - I'm glad it has to much available for the people!
Re your comment on Dillard's: It is a upscale department store and I believe it is more prominent in this part of the country ... normally, it is too expensive for me, but if one watches the sales you can get some good buys on quality goods.
that's beautiful.
What a charming name, Fairy Lake! Have you ever seen any there?
This is a beautiful scene, and you've captured it beautifully.
It´s so wonderful! Thanks for sharing. It cheers up my Tuesday morning.

This is a very attractive image of the water and an interesting bank. I like how the trees lean out over the water. Nice color and reflection too. Nice one.
What a beautiful park. It would be nice to spend time there.
Beautiful scene.I can imagine that walking in this park would be most enjoyable.
Well, I'm already relaxed only to see this amazing picture!This place is awesome, I would love to take pictures around there!
Your picture is a postcard.

Oh, this really is a magical place that is so aptly named. I, too, love the water reflections and the serenity of the forest setting. :)
Lovely shot! There seem to be a lot of Fairy lakes around in small towns.
i love the reflection!
what a beautiful lake!
great lighting, too!
hope you're having a sweet day!
betty
So did you see any fairies? ;-)
I love the name of the lake, and the picture looks fairy like too.
That water looks good enough to jump in!
Great pic, I love the foilage and trees and I really like how the water is part rippled and part smooth. Great job.
I knew there were a lot of Little Lakes, but hadn't realized just how many Fairy lakes there were! This is a nice shot of the bridge reflection of a bridge you cannot see.
Thats so beautiful!
Nice reflections :)
It's cool to see the bridge reflected on the water! ;-)
This is beautiful! Sorry about Mr. Linky. Its up now.
What a lovely name for a beautiful place. Lovely photo.
Lovely shot, so great to see Spring has really set in. We are having a very early start to winter with very cool mornings at present.
Beautiful reflections. This looks like a great place to spend a summer day.
What a wonderful name...fairy lake. I would like to visit there. I live near Newmarket New Hampshire, USA. But there is no fairy lake.
I think I know why the bridge was named so and why you took the picture. I found half hidden arched bridge beyond the branches because of its reflection as you mentioned. Lovely and soothing place and picture.
So peaceful looking. I too like the reflection of the bridge in the water. Nice name for such a pretty place.
Such a very pretty view! Adore the name! Great to see a little enchantment creeping into public names!
A fairy lake and a fairytale photo. Just lovely!

It is a pretty place and you caught it well. I liked seeing the reflected bridge and then hunting to see the bridge itself.
beautifully captured.
i wonder how long these trees will hold on.
It's beautiful and I love the reflection!

A beautiful place and I adore that name.
Great shot. Love the bridge reflection.
xoxo reflections, very lovely!
I am intrigued by its name.
I love the name. It's interesting to see the bridge reflection when we can't see the bridge...
Thank you for visiting my blog. My oldest son was born in Newmarket Hospital and we ourselves lived for a while in Stouffville and Gormley. My husband was the pastor of Ringwood Christian Church in the 60's (I don't think it's there any more). They were wonderful people. These are great photographs. I love the bridge reflection, but the old homes are so beautiful too. We knew the Steckley family well, among others. Haven't been back for a long while.
The shot is so appealing to me, but not because of the reflections...though I like them once I noticed them.
this is so serene. the way you capture light is extraordinary.
a hammock between the trees would be perfect!:p
Such a beautiful place,so calm and peaceful too!
