It's so great to see "my" river being explored by people new to the area. I have paddled this canal to Ottawa and back many times in my 64 years and I am always doing camping trips of several days on it's lakes and rivers. It is a gem that I'm glad you have discovered it. I loved your experience and that you've have shared it!!!!

Lots of great places along both the US D Canadian sides of the St. Lawrence, particularly throughout the Thousand Island Region.

Sturgeon lake is one of the lesser of the Kawartha lakes which themselves are all mostly mud bottomed and weedy and popular for fishing. It's well away from the rock and pine of the Canadian Shield and surrounded by farm country. It's shores are mostly all built up with homes. The greater Toronto area is only an hour away as well there is Lindsey and Peterborough even closer. Lot's of weekend warriors for sure. The nicest Kawartha Lakes IMO are Balsam lake for it's better water quality for swimming and Stoney Lake for the scenery.

The Great Lakes can become dangerous with short wave-length, steeply faced wind waves that can damage vessels and crew. But it is interesting to compare sea state discussions with those we've experienced on the N Calif, Oregon, and Washington coasts and bar entrances where large, long wave-length swells often carry confused wind chop on top.

I have lived in Niagara Falls all my life, and I am very familiar with the Welland Canal system. Obviously, the locks are something of a curse for the local residence because of the bridges going up and down all summer long. But having never gone through the locks myself, I found your trip very interesting. My six-year-old grandson is absolutely fascinated with the Welland Canal and needless to say we are up and down the canal, from Port Dalhousie all the way up to Port Colburne numerous times throughout the summer boat watching. He gets pretty excited when he sees some of the big freighter going by. I have gone through some of the locks on a smaller boat in the Trent-Severn lock system, and also some of the Erie Canal system as well, towards Rochester area. But they are much smaller obviously than the Welland Canal system.

I've followed your loop travels from the beginning. I know your not with the boat anymore but I have a question you may be able to answer for me as I'm considering buying and doing the loop in the future. The question is , if the vessel has DPS on it, will I still be required to tie up when transiting locks ? I ask because I may do the loop as a single. Thanks in advance!

The short answer on this is yes, you will be required to tie off. Send me an email to [email protected] for more information and why. Sam

Started watching at 259. Really confused about your route. Image in video shows classic Albany-Oswego-Trent route but video is a visit to Montreal? And you mention a huge lock count that wouldn’t accumulate if you came up the Champlain canal to the st Lawrence. Looking at future video titles looks like you’re going through the big boat Seaway.

@@petercharron3268 sorry for the confusion. On this start of our third Loop we went Erie Canal to Oswego canal to Kingston and did the Rideau Canal to Ottawa. Then down the Ottawa River to Montreal, then up the Saint Lawrence River to Gananoque, turn the Adolphus reach and the Murray canal, South on lake Ontario to the Welland Canal into lake Erie.
