We
use 387 km
instead of 386 km because that is what we get
things to add up to.
Balsam Lake is the highest point in the system, not
Rosedale or Kirkfield. Kirkfield is 14.9 m below Balsam and
Rosedale is 1.2 m below.
The Kirkfield Lift Lock Chambers rise to
one foot below Balsam Lake, the system works when Balsam fills this
area in the chamber increasing
the weight, allowing it to descend so the opposite
chamber to can rise. The chamber coming down must always have more
water (weight) for the design
to function.
There is no lock 29 as two locks were replaced by one at Burleigh
Falls.
Purdey's Mills aka Lindsay aka City
of Kawartha Lakes, is a side branch
of The Trent-Severn Waterway accessing Lake
Scugog.
Brief
History of The Trent-Severn Waterway
The
start to finish time line spans eighty-seven years with the systems
construction starting in 1833 at Bobcaygeon and finishing in 1920
at Port Severn, three hundred and eighty-seven kilometers from
Lake Ontario.
A
feat of "Engineering and Perseverance" that is hard
to imagine when considering the construction techniques that
were available at the time.
The Navigation channel
runs a depth of six feet from start to finish. The locks vary
in raising the water level some exceptions are; flight locks,
the Big Chute Marine Railway with a lift of eighteen meters (58
feet), the Kirkfield Lift Lock with an average lift of fifteen
meters (49 feet) )and the Peterborough Lift Lock (finished in
1904) with an average lift of twenty meters (65 feet).
Peaking at Balsam Lake the system takes the traveler 180 meters (600
feet) above Lake Ontario and 80 meters (250 feet) above Lake Huron’s,
Georgian Bay.
Standard lock dimensions are one hundred and twenty feet long by thirty-two
feet wide. The two exceptions are the lock 44, the Big Chute Marine Railway
at one hundred feet long by twenty-four feet wide and lock 45 at Port
Severn is only eight-four feet long and twenty-three feet wide setting
the limit if you wish to traverse The Trent Severn Waterway from one
end to the other.
Two major upgrades were at Big Chute in 1960 and combining two locks
at Burleigh Falls in 1968 eliminating lock 29.
Please
Note: All dimensions are rounded hence approximate.
