Ontario's Historic Trent-Severn Waterway

Each lock has a park setting where you can spend the night. These
locations provide washrooms, picnic tables and overnight dockage.

A beautiful inland lake and river system

The Trent-Severn Waterway is one of the continent’s most beautiful and varied inland water routes. 240 miles of protected cruising through 20
lakes, rivers, and canals offering incredible variety.

From Pigeon Lake in the Kawarthas you are free to travel in either direction on the Trent-Severn Waterway. To the east, through Buckhorn, Lovesick,
and Stoney Lakes; pine trees, granite, beautiful waters, quiet coves and hundreds of islands lie before you; truly one of Ontario’s most beautiful
areas.

To the west of Pigeon Lake are some of Ontario’s favourite lakes and summer communities – Sturgeon, Cameron and Balsam Lakes; the towns of
Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls and Rosedale. This area offers beautiful scenery, great fishing trips and superb swimming and sandy beaches.

At the end of each lake (about 2 or 3 hours) you pass through a small historic town to get into the next lake. these towns all have beautifully maintained lock parks for the boaters. There are restaurants, bars, antique shops, bakeries, ice cream stores, shopping and spas. Each night you have the choice of staying in the towns or finding a quiet bay nearby.

Houseboating is an ideal family holiday

For a family vacation Seahawk Houseboats are ideal. They combine the advantages of cottage living with the adventure of travel. Explore a different town or village without worrying about reservations. Prepare your own meals or enjoy dining out at many of the fine restaurants on your way. Stop for swimming or fishing anytime you please. Soak up the sun and enjoy the scenery. Spend time meeting new friends at the locks or find a secluded bay for private relaxation.

The possibilities are endless and it’s tremendous value for the money. Spring and Fall vacations are an even better value. Fishing in the spring is excellent and the beauty of the Trent-Severn Waterway in the Fall is unbelievable.
