The Trent Severen Waterway brings you to the Georgian Bay of Lake Huron, which is known for its beautiful wooded canals, pristine lakes, and rocky formations and channels.
After you finish Lock 45 of the Trent Severn Waterway, you travel into a very shallow and narrow channel where its recommended you do a “Securite” call before you enter, as it cannot accommodate two large boats. After that you head to Potato Channel which has two 90 degree turns with a narrow section in between and requires another Securite call as you don’t want to meet another vessel here either. This was one of those “white knuckle” navigation areas.
We landed in the town of Midland for the night to reprovision and rest. The next day we anchored at Beausoleil Island, a national park, where there were hiked and scouted the rocky shoreline for shells. We had a great dinner on Frying Pan Island at Henry’s which is known for its Pickerell and we have to say it was the best walleye we had. We actually joined the Looper boat “Toboka” for dinner. We leap-frogged with them several times on the Trent and finally had a chance to sit down and get to know them.
We anchored a couple of nights and also got delayed at a tiny hamlet, Britt, that’s right, not even considered a town. We stayed at Wrights Marina for several days to wait out wind and weather as we would have to head out onto Lake Huron to enter the North Channel.
