Randy, We did a similar trip the year before last. This was our itinerary which you may want to consider. >From New York City up the Hudson, to Lake Champlain and Montreal. Then Rideau Canal and Trent-Severn to Georgian Bay. Stop at Killarney for the fish and chips. Now for variety, return route via Tobermory. (You will love Tobermory, allow one day for a trip to Flowerpot Island). Continue to Detroit and Lake Erie to complete the loop. Just a suggestion for a bit of a change.

Since we are not ones to dawdle for days in one location, we are planning to paint the area with a broad brush. Our working plan is to spend June going from the Chesapeake to NY and up the Hudson to Oswego, July on the Trent-Severn to Georgian Bay and back, August on the Rideau to Ottowa and Montreal and Sept. returning to the Bay via Lake Champlain. Is this doable? Too aggressive? Too much travel? What say the group?
