The headwaters of the East Holland River run north through Newmarket towards Holland Landing from the Oak Ridges Moraine. Down-stream of Newmarket the East Holland river joins up with the West Holland River where together they form the Holland River which dumps into Cook's Bay in Lake Simcoe. A dam and locks were built in 1801 as a part of the "Holland River Canal" that would have joined Newmarket to the Trent-Severn Waterway. The dam in Newmarket maintaina a man-made lake call Fairy Lake which was to originally be a millpond. The canal locks and dam were abandoned early in the 20th century without ever being finished. In 1954 The newmarket dam and locks were severely damaged by Hurricane Hazel, and now are used for recreation.
