Going later so you arrive in the
Great Lakes in June would be best. It would be a great trip. Just note, June tends to be the
fog month, especially on the upper Lakes. But that's better than ice and bitter cold.
Valhalla360 covers all the possible routes well. My understanding is that the Trent Severn Canal's maximum
draft allowance if 5'. If you're deeper than that then you've got to take the Welland
Canal to L. Erie. I believe they require at least three crew on the Welland
Canal if you're up-bound (down-bound two is the minimum).
As I say, it would be a great trip if you have the time. We're planning a similar trip, but in reverse. Maybe we'll cross paths
.
