The plane landed hard on the water and flipped over. But the pilot and the passenger were able to get out and were not injured.
'It's a miracle,' Ontario Provincial Police Const. Siobhan Christo told CTV News in a phone interview.
People who were passing nearby witnessed the event and immediately called police.
Eric Taschner of CTV News was on the scene and sent a photo of the plane with only the tail visible.
Christo said the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, which investigate plane crashes in Canada, will be taking over the investigation.
A message to the safety board from CTV News seeking further information has not yet been returned.

Line 1 LRT loses power, malfunctions in pair of weekend incidents
Social Sharing Technical problems caused the O-Train Line 1 to stop operating twice over the past three days, according to the city's acting general manager of transit services. At around 6:30 p.m. Friday, a power outage halted the east-west LRT line between Tunney's Pasture and Rideau stations, according to a memo from Troy Charter to Ottawa city council. Replacement R1 buses ran until the train came back online, Charter said. Then on Sunday morning, Line 1 didn't launch between Tunney's Pasture and Tremblay stations due to a "malfunction with the switch mechanism at the crossover near uOttawa station," Charter wrote in a followup memo. Once again, replacement buses were called into service. The line was running again between Tunney's Pasture and Tremblay by around 12:45 p.m., Charter said. Line 1 service was already being scaled back this weekend as part of scheduled work on the line's eastern extension from Blair to Trim stations, as well as work on the St-Laurent station tunnel. The power disruption and the switch mechanism malfunction were not related, Charter said. Nor were either related to the eastern extension work, he added. Due to the scheduled work, replacement buses continue to run Sunday between Hurdman and Blair stations. Full service is expected to resume across the entirety of Line 1 on Monday morning.
