Members CLICK HERE to post to the Chat Back where she belongsPhoto by Selena Bruni Steenburg welcomed a special returning resident to the lake on Mother's Day, May 11, 2025. Welcome back to this 15-year-old female snapping turtle. She was released after spending the winter at the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre in Peterborough where she was recovering from being hit by a car and loosing her beak. The trauma centre is run by the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre. This turtle was originally from our lake and the volunteer was so happy she could be released back to Steenburg. If you happen to spot her you will notice that she has a bit of a smooshed in face, that is her new smile (-: About our lake:Steenburg Lake is in the Trent River and Lake Ontario drainage basins in the townships of Limerick and Tudor & Cashel, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada, 28 kilometres south of the town of Bancroft. The lake is about 3.2 kilometres long and 2.8 kilometres wide and lies at an elevation of 316 metres. TIP: Hooked an invasive water plant? Don't toss it back![]() Photo Credit: Invasive Species Centre We’ve all been fishing and reeled in a weed – that’s right – we mean an aquatic plant. That weed could be Eurasian Water-Milfoil (EWM), an invasive species found in Steenburg Lake. EWM spreads when fragments of the plant break loose or are cut loose by a boat propeller. If you hook one, please do not toss aquatic plants back in the lake. Instead dispose of them on land either in the garbage or by burning. Help prevent the spread of invasive plants. Learn more.
