Trent-Severn is a *much* more interesting route than Lake Erie in my
opinion.

True, but Erie is faster unless your target area is Southern Georgian
Bay. Even if you have to wait for a weather window. (I spent a couple
of days behind Pelee Island last summer waiting for a west wind. Going
the other direction we had lucked into a lull in the prevailing
westerly and motored most of the way up the lake before the wind
switched back on.) The bigger problem is that it's 50 miles between
harbours on the north shore, so if the weather kicks up it could be a
long slog to shelter.
