Trent - Severn Waterway; July 16, 2011




Leaving anchor this morning at Lake Katchewanooka

First Lock of the day.
Youngs Point - Lift: 7 feet
Noticed several planes docked next to their boats on Clear Lake

Clear Lake is is 5 miles long -  1/2 mile wide
and hazard free all the way
Then you get into Stony Lake with is aptly named -
scattered rocks randomly scattered throughout

Some of the channel markers are in stones
Lock 28 - Burleigh Falls: Lift 28 feet
Note steps to the right - remains of Lock 29

* What happened to Lock 29 ?? See note after pics.

Pink rocks are scattered in Lovesick Lake

Lots and lots of trees, rocks, islands and rocky islands with trees

Lock 30 - Lovesick: lift 4 feet. 
This lock is on an island! Lock operators get to work by boat.
 Caution: Don't tie up overnight - raccoon board boats.

Panhandler walking along lock wall

Out of the way anchorage for the night on lower Buckhorn Lake


 *The remains of Lock 29 are on the right side of Lock 28. When the waterway was being built, they realized a second lock was not needed at that location, so abandoned it. The blocks that were in place for Lock 29 were used in the steps on Lock 28.
Since the Locks were already numbered, they kept them the same. Thus, the Trent - Severn Waterway does not have a Lock number 29. Interesting, eh?
