Less maintenance place, but just a historical place to see the lift lock with how the hydraulic system works here in this water way.
Watching the lift lock operate is fascinating, very impressive.
Really interesting and well maintained place! Parks Canada has a building beside the lift locks, full of historical information. There is a little movie theater, a museum, and staff available for any questions you might have. There is also a washroom! Surrounded by well maintained public areas, it's a nice place for a picnic... at the very least. If you're lucky, you'll get to see the locks in action as boats traveling up and down the river use the locks...as they were when they were first engineered and built! Apparently there are only 8 of these locks in the world! Kids and adults alike will learn and enjoy visiting here! There is also a gift shop.
Very cool piece of architecture. One of eight lift locks in the world. This one states that it is the tallest. Don't just walk around at the bottom. Be sure to explore all the stairs and go up to the top. It's totally worth it. There are historic signs posted that help you appreciate it for what it is. Definitely a must stop place.
Such a great spot to have lunch with folks who have never seen a Liftlock and watch the boats being lifted and lowered. They were very impressed.
