The Trent-Severn Waterway begins on the bay of Quinte on eastern Lake Ontario and extends in a westerly direction to Port Severn where the Severn River flows into Georgian Bay. The overall length of the system is 240 miles and features 44 locks, including the first and second highest lift locks in the world, 2 flight locks and one marine railway. It took 87 years to complete, from 1833 when the first lock was constructed, until the final leg of the system opened in 1920. The waterway is made up of a number of interconnected lakes, rivers, canals and cuts.In fact, boats transiting from Lake Ontario are raised 596 feet to the summit at Balsam Lake and then decent 262 feet down to Georgian Bay.
