That’s ALMOST wrap on another fantastic boating season! 🍂🍁 Heading into our final weekend!

With the Trent-Severn Waterway lockstations closing for the winter on October 13 following the Thanksgiving long weekend, we’ll also be wrapping up operations alongside the locks.

If you’re out walking the trails or enjoying the area over the cooler months, take extra care around the docks, walkways, and water.

Wishing everyone a cozy, safe Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends! See the full Parks Canada announcement below. 🦃👇

⚠️ End of Season Operations ⚠️

Be advised that the Trent-Severn Waterway’s 44 lockstations located between Trenton and Port Severn will close for the season on October 13, following the Thanksgiving long weekend.

Parks Canada encourages the public to use caution in and around the waterway structures and channels over the winter months. From Thanksgiving to Victoria Day (mid-October to mid-May, lockstations will be closed and the use of the waterway will be at one’s own risk. Unmarked hazards may exist.

Wet leaves, ice, and snow may remain on stairs and walkways, and ice conditions on the waterway can vary. Boaters are advised that during the non-navigation season, aids to navigation may be missing, off-station, or inoperable until next spring.

We would like to thank all visitors and look forward to welcoming you again in 2027.
