Trent
Waterway, Ontario, Canada is
a founding member of Waterway
Tourism. The Trent Waterway runs the full
length of The Trent-Severn Waterway linking
Georgian Bay of Lake Huron with Lake Ontario. The Trent Waterway's
387-km main course (The Trent-Severn Waterway) consists
of 53 km of man-made channels 6 to 8 feet deep comprising what is
considered by most, the Trent Canal portion. The balance are lakes
and rivers that flow NorthWest to Georgian Bay and SoutEast to Lake
Ontario from the Waterway's high point at Balsam Lake.
The Trent Severn Waterway, conceived in 1833, is Central Ontario’s
387 kilometers of waterway linking Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay utilizing 41
locks (4 of which consist of two sets of flight locks), a marine railway
and two hydraulic lift locks. The high point, Balsam Lake, is 180 meters above
Lake Ontario and 80 meters above Georgian Bay.
