The Trent-Severn Waterway 2026 navigation season is starting today (Friday).
Parks Canada stated on its website that increased precipitation in March and April, coupled with significant snowpack in both the Trent and Severn watersheds, has necessitated additional time to reduce water levels and flows to ensure safe boating conditions across the system.
All lockstations will remain open to land-based visitation and the lockstations will open in stages as conditions allow but may be subject to temporary closure depending on weather systems and precipitation events.
Lockstations and Murray Canal will be open from Monday to Thursday from Friday, May 15 until June 18, 10:00 am – 3:30 pm, while Friday to Sunday and Victoria Day (May 18) will have hours from 9:00 am – 6:30 pm.
