The Trent-Severn is a 240-mile (386 km) waterway that connects Trent to Severn or Lake Ontario to Lake Huron. It cuts through some incredibly beautiful parts of Canada’s cottage country through a series of 44 locks. The names for many of the places along the Trent-Severn originate from the First Nation Anishinaabe, including “Otonabee” (also known as Odenabe), which means “river that beats like a heart.”

Unlike the Erie Canal, the Trent-Severn Waterway is not free. A season pass is typically purchased at the first or last lock (depending upon your direction of travel) and is priced determined based on the length of your boat and if you plan on traveling one way or round trip. Our one-way lock pass cost CAD 5/foot which came out to about $132.27 USD. On the first day of our journey on the Trent-Severn Waterway, we traveled through 6 locks from Trenton to Frankford and enjoyed every second of it. Little did we know how much we would fall in love with this area over the next two weeks.

Leaving the Thousand Islands was sad because we we

Leaving the Thousand Islands was sad because we weren’t sure if the rest of Canada would be as good as it was in the Thousand Islands. Spoiler alert: it was.

Leaving the Thousands Islands National Park, we headed to Kingston, Ontario. Kingston was everything we were craving. We took two days to catch up on work, plan our next few days on the Great Loop, and do a food tour around the city. Kingston was a hub of diversity with a variety of foods from around the world so our food tour included some of our favorite international dishes as well as some Canadian classics like poutine! Being in Kingston, gave us life and so much enthusiasm for what was to come! #greatloop

The best part of this whole loop is being able to share all of my experiences with these two. Our Pivot crew of 3 makes the lows manageable and the highs even higher.

Our first top in Canada started off with a bang! Exploring one of the Thousand Islands National Park was easily one of our top favorite destinations on the Loop and is easily a place we will return to! The rocks were plentiful for Ollie, the water was cool and refreshing, and the weather was incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed everything this island had to offer from the beautiful hikes to the natural lazy river. It was paradise!
