ohhenrygsr Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 you can ask the Lock attendants or a boater in the lock they would know best. I'll ask my GF they been through the locks a bunch of times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carp-starter Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 TIMES FOR THE 2 TRIPS m-x or M-z is the mileage in miles at the point designated. These are shown on the Trent/Severn paper charts like #2028 and #2029. SPARROW LAKE TO COUCH Start is at marker S239 – m-214 – entrance to the Severn River. Lock 42 is at m-210 (Couch Lock) – expect at least 30 to 45 minutes to get thru – all depends on many factors. One time, Big Chute was going at the rate of 6 hours (GB to Lake Simcoe direction). Once, at Severn Lock it took me about 2-3 minutes to speed into the one spot left on the final lock trip down to GB direction. They had just started to close the lock gates. I arrived at the very last second on that day. At m-208 – entrance to Lake Couch. Total miles is 6 plus one lock. How long it will take will depend on you. The speed on the river is 6 or 10 mph max. SPARROW LAKE TO GLOUCHESTER POOL Start is at marker S239 – m-214 – entrance to the Severn River. At m-224.5 is Swift Rapids Lock. Time to get thru – it depends. At m-236, you can make a turn off the main channel and into the POOL. Total miles is 22 miles plus one LOCK. It should be faster in this direction. Good luck.
