The Great Loop, by Steve Moss

The Great Loop is 5,000 miles long, taking in 16 US states plus Canada. It rises to 572 ft above sea level, has 17 ft minimum fixed bridge clearance, and runs through 69 locks of up to 50 ft maximum lift. It links the US Intracoastal, the Great Lakes, and the inland rivers of America's heartland. Some of the delights on the way include Chesapeake Bay and the historic sites of the War of Independence and Civil War; New York and the Long Island Sound; Lake Eyrie and Lake St Clare; the Georgian Bay and North Channel in Canada; the Mississipi and the Gulf of Mexico.
