Cruise the
TRENT-SEVERN
with Your Own Boat!
There is so much to see and so
many places to stay!
BY CHRISTINE PAINTER
YOU WILL BE AMAZED at the ease with
which you can travel the incredible
and scenic Trent Severn Waterway in a
small trailer boat.
With your own boat, you can see
this glorious area from the ideal perspective of the water. Here is a cruise
that is easy, accessible and one that
you can do in 48 hours…or three
weeks! Camp grounds, hotels and Bed
& Breakfasts are available all the way.
Start in Trenton and cruise up 12
locks to the picturesque village of
Campbellford where you will find
restaurants and accommodations. Then,
you cruise back in as little as a day each
way. It is the perfect introduction to
both small boat family cruising and also
to the historic Trent Severn.
Highway 401 carries travelers from
Windsor to Quebec City on smooth
roads where pulling a boat on a trailer is easy and safe. The Trent Severn
Waterway begins at Lock 1 in Trenton,
just 120 minutes east of Toronto, in
the Bay of Quinte, near the
Murray Canal and Prince
Edward County.
Quinte West is an internationally
recognized cruising destination and
the old Port Trent is regarded as the
gateway to the famed Trent-Severn
Waterway; the series of lakes, canals
and navigational locks that connects
Lake Ontario directly to Lake Huron’s
Georgian Bay.
The locks in Frankford located in the City
of Quinte West just north of Trenton are
typically scenic. The entire waterway is
beautiful and welcoming.
