The article highlights the 240-mile Trent-Severn Waterway, where its rivers, lakes and canals go from one end of Ontario to the other, connecting Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay.

A few organizations and companies have been featured in the article.

Author AnneLise Sorensen gives her main highlight to the Canadian Canoe Museum with its new 65,000-square-foot lakefront. The museum is known to have the most extensive collection of canoes, kayaks and paddled watercraft worldwide.

“The museum exhibits styles from across Canada — showcasing them in a curved building inspired by, yes, the canoe — and honours the vessel’s Indigenous legacy,” said Sorensen. “The waterway is also undergoing a multiyear revitalization project, which includes retrofitting its monumental hydraulic lift locks, among the highest in the world.”

Boat rental company Le Boat, 100 Acre Brewing Co. and BeaverTails also had honourable mentions in the article.
