The Trent-Severn Canal, (2), (3), (4) links Lake Ontario (Bay of Quinte at Trenton) with Lake Huron (Georgian Bay at Port Severn).   Features the Big Chute Marine Railway and the Peterborough Lift Lock, the highest hydraulic lock in the world.   One of the longest canal construction projects in Canada, the route was first surveyed for a canal in 1833 and the project proceeded in fits and starts.   The first through navigation was achieved in July 1920.   It operates today as recreational waterway run by Parks Canada. ^CCS
