Having cruised the Trent Severn four times I can make a general statement that the Canadian portion of the Great Loop including Trent- Severn just gets better and better as you cruise north. For a couple of weeks in a houseboat on the Trent Severn I would recommend the fifty miles from Youngs Point to Fenelon Falls. A looper doing the Trent Severn will have completed 26 of the 42 locks to get to Youngs Point and the start of the more interesting segment. A narrow, rocky channel known has Hell's Gate leads to Lovesick Lake where you can tie-up overnight at remote Lovesick Lock. There are no roads here - the lockmaster arrives by boat. You can also tie-up at Buckhorn Lock, one of our favorites adjacent to a little village with bars and restaurants on a very busy road. Bobcageon is everybody's favorite and is usually crowded. More docks have been added this year. Finally arrive at Fenelon Falls, 'the Jewel of the Kawarthas'. This will be a fun two week vacation in the company of many other houseboaters and should you need service mechanics are very close by land. I saw a mechanic swap out an engine one evening while the renter was tied up at Bobcageon with no delay to his vacation schedule.

We have relapsed into RV dirt cruising and plan to be in the north central region in early summer. Question: if you were going to spend a week or two on a rental house boat on the Trent Severn, what segment(s) would you recomend. Also any must see/ do's therein. Any/all suggestions welcomed and appreciated.
