Parks Canada maintains and operates the Trent-Severn Waterway, a 386km waterway and historic lock system that passes through Trent Lakes.
Kawartha Conservation is a watershed-based, non-profit organization established in 1979 by the municipalities within our watershed under the Conservation Authorities Act.
Their programs and services are focused within the natural boundaries of the Kawartha watershed, which extend from Lake Scugog in the southwest and Pigeon Lake in the east, to Balsam Lake in the northwest and Crystal Lake in the northeast – a total of 2,563 square kilometres.
Coalition For Equitable Water Flow (CEWF)
The Coalition for Equitable Water Flow (CEWF) is a volunteer organization. Its goal is to represent the interests of taxpayers who own a residential shoreline property on 55 lakes that feed all the way down into the Trent Canal, the water levels of which are controlled by the Trent Severn Waterway.
Of these 55 lakes, 35 are ‘reservoir lakes’ and 20 are ‘flow-through lakes’ which are known collectively as the Reservoir and Flow-through Lakes, or ‘RaFT lakes’. These lakes are within the Haliburton Sector of the Trent River watershed. The sub-watersheds in the Sector are associated with the following rivers and creeks: Gull River, Burnt River, Mississauga River, Nogies Creek, Eel’s Creek, and Jack’s Creek.
Kawartha Lakes Stewards Association
The Kawartha Lake Stewards Association (KLSA) is a volunteer, non-profit, community science organization composed of seasonal and year-round residents focused on lake water quality and lake health in the Kawarthas. Formed in 2000 after the Walkerton Ontario E.coli incident, we conduct E.coli water sampling in lakes directly and indirectly along the Trent-Severn Waterway. KLSA also conducts other projects and research related to the health of the Kawartha lakes.
Their Mission is to conduct research in areas of concern, support activities that improve lake health, and educate the public about the importance of protecting the Kawartha Lakes.
Since 2001, KLSA have been publishing their Annual Lake Water Quality Report.
