Lake Simcoe (northern entrance) is on the Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) between Erewash and Oldcroft.
Early plans for the Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) between Sunderland and Aylesbury were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until James Brindley was appointed as managing director in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Dudley. The Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) was closed in 1888 when Taunbury Aqueduct collapsed. In Peter Taylor's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Stoke-on-Trent Cutting during the war.

Wikipedia has a page about Lake Simcoe
Lake Simcoe (French: Lac Simcoe) is a lake in southern Ontario, Canada, the fourth-largest lake wholly in the province, after Lake Nipigon, Lac Seul, and Lake Nipissing. At the time of the first European contact in the 17th century the lake was called Ouentironk ("Beautiful Water") by the Wyandot (Huron) people. It was also known as Lake Taronto until it was renamed by John Graves Simcoe, the first Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, in memory of his father, Captain John Simcoe, Royal Navy.
The lake is bordered by Simcoe County, Durham Region, and York Region. The city of Barrie is located on Kempenfelt Bay, and Orillia is located at the entrance to Lake Couchiching. The watershed draining into the lake contains a population of roughly half a million people, including the northern portion of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
The town of Georgina lies along the entire south shore of Lake Simcoe and consists of smaller residential towns and communities, including Keswick on Cook's Bay, Sutton, Jackson's Point, Pefferlaw, and Udora.
The town of Innisfil occupies the western shore south of Barrie and north of Bradford. Eastside Simcoe includes the towns of Beaverton, Brechin and Lagoon City.
