2017 Great time to explore Canada's Waterways

We are looking at cruising the Canadian canals starting in the second week of August.

We would like to do a loop of the Trent Severn, Rideau and maybe Richelieu to Lake Champlain down to the Erie canal.

Thinking of going as far as we can until weather or canal closings force us to stop. Can anyone recommend a launch and secure parking spot on the Severn/ Georgian Bay end of the canal?

How much should we try to cruise in two months? Most of the canals close by mid October. I'm thinking of a one way cruise not doing the Trent Severn in both directions. Mooring the boat at the end and traveling over land to retrieve the truck and trailer.

Looking for suggestions.
 
Not sure if our canals will be opening this week end - may be delayed due to flooding. If you were planning an early season trip check with Parks Canada.
