Tips from locals
Worlds largest hydraulic liftlock. Great place in the summer to watch boats and cruisers and have lunch along the river bank.
This is the highest hydraulic liftlock in the world, on Hunter Street at Ashburnham Drive. It is best to go in summer (between Victoria Day and Canadian Thanksgiving) when the Trent Severn waterway is operational. The visitor's centre has displays and explains how the lock works.
The Peterborough Lift Lock National Historic Site of Canada is located on the Otonabee River section of the Trent Canal in Peterborough
