The Great Lakes Waterway

The Great Lakes Waterway is a system of channels and canals that makes all of the Great Lakes accessible to oceangoing vessels. Its principal civil engineering components are the Welland Canal, bypassing Niagara Falls between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, and the Sault locks, bypassing the rapids of the St. Marys River between Lake Superior and Lake Huron, at Sault Sainte Marie. Maintained channels serve the St. Clair River and Detroit River between Lake Huron and Lake Ontario.

The Great Lakes Waterway is supplemented by the Saint Lawrence Seaway, which makes the Saint Lawrence River navigable from Montreal to Kingston, Ontario. The two waterways are often jointly referred to as the St. Lawrence Seaway. The Great Lakes Waterway is co-administered by Canada and the United States.

The Welland Canal - The Welland Canal is one of the world's greatest man made wonders. Although not as well known as the ancient Egyptian pyramids or as famous as it's neighbouring natural wonder Niagara Falls, the Welland Canal can be best described as simply amazing.

The Trent Severn Waterway - The Trent Severn Waterway is a water system of canals and lakes that allow boaters to travel the 387 kilometers of water from the Bay of Quinte at the east end of Lake Ontario up as far as Georgian Bay in Lake Huron. It takes roughly a week to travel the full length of the system by boat. You will pass through a number of historical areas and may embark on day trips at many of the ports of call to visit the towns and villages and points of interest along the way. This historic canal is operated by Parks Canada, an agency of Environment and Climate Change Canada. It is part of a large family of national parks and national historic sites located across the country. Read more...
