240 Miles 43 Locks: Trent Severn Waterway
To say the Trent Severn Waterway is historic is understating ... these locks are on the National Historic Register, are mostly constructed with very little update over 100 years ago, some operate manually, some hydraulically ... one is a rollercoaster for boats.
