The Trent-Severn Waterway is a historic 386-km recreational corridor linking Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay through 45 locks and a mix of natural and engineered channels. This predominantly flatwater route has abundant services, marina facilities, and cottage access, but offers minimal wilderness experience. Paddlers navigate lock systems, man-made cuts, and lakes with steady east-west progression. Best paddled May-September with flexible daily distances; excellent for weekly trips with overnight camping at designated lock-side facilities.
