Listing policy: inclusion is editorial, not paid. We don't take referral fees from listed businesses yet. If you'd rather be flagged as a featured partner, see below.

For businesses along the waterway

We accept two forms of paid placement on this page: free listings by default (no cost, no ceremony), and Featured Partner slots for operators who want to be visually distinguished. Money changes one thing on this page: which entries have a small "Featured" ribbon. It doesn't change ranking order, and we still link your real website.

If you operate on or near the Trent–Severn Waterway and want to be listed or upgraded, email us:
