About The Area

Trent-Severn

The Trent Severn waterway is a series of 45 locks that connect Lake Ontario and Lake Huron. Gloucester Pool is the last lake before Georgian Bay and lies between the swing bridge lock in Port Severn and the Big Chute Marine Railway.

There are multiple benefits to being on a lake managed within the Trent Severn system, the greatest for property owners being the consistent water level. Port Severn is an ideal starting point for boaters that want to explore the 350+km of waterway along the Trent Severn, and the open expanses of Georgian Bay on the other side.
