worth the drive - not a lot of boats, but great picnic spot to wait for some to go by. a lot of information on snakes at the upper level which had us concerned.....

It is an amazing part of Peterborough's history! I highly recommend taking the boat tour through the locks - and the dinner cruise is really great too - it ends up anchored in Little Lake - a great seat to watch the Festival of Lights (they changed the name and I can never remember what it is called now!) and...

The Lift Lock Cruise is a relaxing guided tour up the tallest lift lock in the world. Experience the power of this simple engineering design created over 100 years ago. Make sure you visit the museum at the base of the lock, and then drive up to the scenic lookout located just west and north of the lock, for a... More

Watching the locks lift is a great sight, but won't take much time. There is a small museum that gives the history of lock building and the Peterborough lock itself. It wouldn't take more than 1 hour of time for the whole experience.

Great photo spot and amazing watching the boats going up and down the lock, interesting, cultural and and scenic. If you goto the information office you can borrow a GPS and complete the geo caching for the area, upon completion of your card they will issue you with a lovely Canadian geo caching coin with the lochs on.

For an awesome fall experience, a visit to charming Peterborough, Canada should be in the offering along with a tour of the worlds tallest hydraulic lift lock system. At almost 1pm, with a blast of its horn my cruise ship pulls away from the dock and we are on the way for one of the shortest cruises I have ever... More

I loved visiting this liftlock. We came by boat and stopped into the adjoining liftlock museum that waqs full of photos and artifacts from the initial building. To see photos of the original waterway and men and horses that constructed this lock over 100 years ago was amazing. The technology is quite unique as the locks are not at all... More

I have lived here most of my life and only been up the lift locks twice. Took a little cruise from Little lake up the canal, up the lock and down again. It really is interesting for adults but will not keep the kids attention. Views are great. Definitely must do once or when visiting. I believe it's still the... More
