I will be paddling this trip regardless. I did it before, solo, during the last part of Covid. I paddled last June from Georgian Bay to Lakefield and many in that group asked that I organize a paddle to 'finish' the Trent-Severn Canal this summer. We will paddle Saturday to Friday (May 24 - 30), staying mostly at the Locks along the way. This is a glamping trip; we will camp on the lawns of the Trent-Severn Canal system, and will use their washrooms each night. People interested in traveling with me can join me in group meals, or organize their own. There is a good chance we will take the opportunity to have one or two meals 'out on the town', depending on which locks we stay at (TBA). I will organize a car shuttle from beginning to end, but if you wish to join me for just a portion of the trip you must organize your own..
