We too loved the Trent when we looped in 2005. This year we are going back again only straight up the Hudson this time to Sorel. Then the Riedeau through Ottawa and down to Kingston. We skipped this part the first time so that part will be all new. Will then cruise the Trent again and parts of Georgian Bay over to Killarney and Little Current. We then plan going down the east coast of Michigan, crossing Lake Erie and follow the whole Erie Canal back to the Hudson and lead the fall back down to Florida. Hope to see some of you along the way. David and Barbara Doyle www.CruisingTheGreatLoop.com In a message dated 2/14/2012 7:38:15 P.M.

This is wonderful! : ) It is clearly one of the highlights of the Great Loop/Circle Cruise in our book! Unfortunately, too many people are still unaware of this one-of-a-kind waterway and its variety of locks including the two largest hydraulic lifts in the world and the railroad car lock! These are locks in history books so to have the opportunity to go through locks like these, and then, see the magnificent scenery on top of this, well, is out of this world! We plan to take our second trip from Severn to Trent this summer.
