Parks Canada announced that as of Friday, May 24, 2019, the Trent-Severn Waterway 2019 Navigation Season was open.  

All lock stations are operational and lock staff will be on hand to receive boaters. 

The start of the 2019 navigation season for the Trent-Severn Waterway was previously scheduled for Friday, May 17, 2019, but was delayed due to extreme high water levels and flows throughout the Trent-Severn Waterway which causes unsafe boating conditions.

As water levels across the system are still higher than normal for this time of year, Trent-Severn Waterway staff will be conducting dam operations and increasing flows in the evening and night, outside of operating hours. Residents and visitors should exercise extra caution around and on the water.
