I've been through a couple locks on the Trent-Severn waterway, but by far the coolest is the one at big chute where the boats are carried over the rocky outcrops.

Agreed!
I own a Cottage a couple minutes from Big Chute. Yes, Lock 44 is very popular, and there is quite a bit of boating traffic through it during the boating season.
I have never done the trip, but I understand that it would takes a few days to navigate the Trent-Severn Waterway from Trenton, in Lake Ontario (Lock 1) to Port Severn in Georgian Bay (Lock 45), depending on itinerary and speed.
I love Muskoka and Ontario Cottage Country. One of the great things about living in Toronto, is that you can be in less than two hours in this incredible wilderness of boreal forests and pristine lakes. It actually is mind boggling to see how many lakes and waterfront properties there are in Ontario Cottage Country. Love it.
