Waterway Tips #3 - Fresh Water For Your Boat
Boat 10 years ago 6,398 views
If you need fresh water for your boat while traveling along the Trent Severn Waterway, the only current options are either a local marina that will supply you, or one lock on the system. The only lock that currently (2014 boating season) has fresh water hookups is at Fenelon Falls. The lock at Bobcaygeon has proposed putting both fresh water and electrical hookups (the services have been roughed in), but that project is not currently completed. Lock #6 at Frankford also has shore power hookups, but no water (other than at the lock station building). The Trent Severn Waterway is located in Ontario, Canada. It's 240 mile/386 km long series of lakes, rivers and canals connect Lake Ontario at Trenton with Georgian Bay/Lake Huron at Port Severn and forms an integral part of America's Great Loop.

And that $1.50 per litre for gas on the water is a bargain these days! If you ever get up to Georgian Bay, you will easily see gas close to or over $2.00 per litre :-(
Happy to see you got through the locks OK, you professional, you ;-) Good job!!
And for that journey, I only had the big boat on plane once ;-)
