We drove here as something to do during Covid 19 pandemic. Parking is easy, well marked and plentiful. Grounds are very well maintained and there are benches as well as picnic tables. We brought a picnic lunch with us and had a great lunch watching the boats and boaters glide by. The lock system is definitely one to observe and is whisper quiet and fascinating. We will make sure to come again as it was very easy, comfortable and interesting.

With 250 lakes and rivers in this Kawartha Lakes area, you have endless opportunities for exploration. There are 44 locks, including 36 conventional locks, two sets of flight locks, hydraulic lift locks at Peterborough and Kirkfield, and a marine railway at Big Chute which transports boats between the upper and lower sections of the Severn. So much fun on the water

Lots of shady treed areas to relax and watch the boats. Public washrooms available. Public parking area. Easy walk to numerous restaurants and shops. Small sandy beach less than 2 minute walk. Great for kids and of course grownups can shop at the famous Bigleys shoe store right across the street !
