One of the most picturesque lock stations; is entirely free for all to explore on foot & features a fun & informative museum explaining the history of the Rideau Canal.

Benderman 88

Beautiful locks, but living on this road I wish there was a set schedule for locking times. I have started taking a long detour to avoid the area as I have been caught at all times of day. The causeway has set times to open, I guess the locks are just trying to get as many boats through as possible.

Part of the Rideau waterway. Historical locking system that allows boat traffic from Lake Ontario to Ottawa and beyond. Amazing to watch this water ladder raise pleasure boats from 1 level to a much higher level via 2 separate locks. These are 2 of many to reach your destinations on the water.
