Peterborough's lift locks are not to be missed

Wow! The sitting Liberal Government just announced $74,000,000.00 of taxpayers money to update 6 locks, during their highest inflation in decades, highest unemployment, highest drug addiction and abuse in years, most homeless and mental health problems in the areas of the locks and THIS is what $74million is being used for??? Fixing locks for the wealthy to putter up in their huge, gasoline and diesel sucking boats, spewing exhaust and spilling wastes into our rivers? How does this “help the climate” that they quoted, or anything or anyone else at that matter?How much does the TSW produce in income per year? How much is spent in the communities by the users each year….not much!This is another example of gross, unnecessary Government spending when we citizens need it more.

A boat elevator. Beautiful engineering that is fascinating to watch.

What a beautiful town. Love the lift locks. Love to own a home up here.

Very nice place and experience with the family

Did a tour on a beautiful July day. Very well organized - knowledgeable staff - locks are amazing. Way more entertaining than I would have imagined.

Put this on your to do list. If you take the boat cruise you actually pass through this unique historic lock

We went camping to this place last year, it was so beautiful. Watching the boat locks was a great experience. The trails around these areas were so beautiful especially to see the sunshine in the morning.

Never fails to please! The locks are totally amazing. The Lift lock in Peterborough is an engineering dream.

Such a national treasure. Here @ Lock 32, in Bobcaygeon, Ontario we saw boats from Florida and Texas, doing the Great Circle Tour. This route makes it possible for boats to travel from the ocean through Canada's North Channel and back to the ocean, an inspiring trip along the route of the courier-du-bois and the explorers who mapped this country. Tiny towns and connected rivers and lakes take you on a journey full of the joy of summer in Canada.
