The Trent-Severn Waterway is situated in Ontario, Canada and travels
from Lake Ontario in the south-east to Georgian Bay (Lake Huron) in the
north-west. As illustrated in the following map, driving by car, it is
within 1 - 2 hours of Toronto and can be reached within a day or two
from such cities as New York, Detroit or Buffalo. Of course, one can
head here by water from these points as well, as it is centrally
located within the Great Lakes basin.
The
following Google Map shows the highly detailed small craft route as it
spans the entire system, as well as all of the locks along the way.
