Ok, I know it not quite the Great Lakes, but it's close by, lol.
Does anyone know the max size boat, draft/beam/tons etc that can transit from Montreal, up the lower Ottawa River and enter the Rideau Canal system??
There's a ton of info on the Rideau (max 6' draft), and found some info about mid 30' boats being trailered on portages on the upper Ottawa, but thats about it. One write up I read said the river was shallow just south of Ottawa city but no numbers were given, and no info on the locks north of Montreal.
I did a trip up the St Lawrence from the Atlantic a couple of years ago but we were in kind of a hurry and went from Montreal straight into the Wellan, and the upper lakes for the summer, besides we had 8' draft and didn't look into small waterway side trips.
Thx
