Trent-Severn Trail Towns

A Trail Town is a destination along a long-distance trail. Our trail is not a land trail, it is a waterway trail. Along the waterway, our Trail Town communities welcome visitors travelling by motor vehicle, boat, paddle, foot and bicycle with warm hospitality and pride of place. Trail Towns support trail visitor needs with overnight accommodations, food and retail opportunities, activities and attractions.

The Trent–Severn Waterway is a 386-kilometer (240-mile) long canal route connecting Lake Ontario at Trenton to Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, at Port Severn. There are 44 locks (the first was built in 1833) along the waterway, including 36 conventional locks, two sets of flight locks and two hydraulic lift locks and roughly 32 kilometers (20 miles) of man-made channels. The waterway is a National Historic Site of Canada and its scenic, meandering route has been called “one of the finest interconnected systems of navigation in the world.”

The complete list of Trail Town communities includes Bobcaygeon, Buckhorn, Campbellford, Coboconk, Fenelon Falls, Hastings, Lakefield, Lindsay, Peterborough, Rosedale.
