Trent River Waterfront
The lower river of the Trent-Severn Waterway — Campbellford, Hastings and locks running down to the Bay of Quinte at Trenton.
Overview
The Trent-Severn's lower river
The Trent River forms the lower reach of the Trent-Severn Waterway, running through Trent Hills — Campbellford, Hastings and Frankford — and down to the Bay of Quinte at Trenton. A chain of locks and dams makes it fully navigable for boaters.
It's classic Ontario waterway country: lock-side towns, riverfront cottages and connected cruising from Lake Ontario toward the Kawarthas and Georgian Bay.
