★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful park surrounding the largest hydraulic lift locks in the world. Built over one hundred years ago this is a functioning piece of Canadian history.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visit June 26, 2018. Nice visitors centre and park area around this fascinating structure and marvel of engineering. Trent-Severn waterway Lock #21 is uplifting. Great spot for a picnic or moving a marine vessel up or down 19.8 meters.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the greatest waterways structures, that was the # one in the world for years. It works using water and gravity , the best practical example of the Lift Lock is a Seasaw ! You can find many good videos online about how a lift lock works, but remember do not mix the lift lock with Lock !!!!!
The Peterborough Lift Lock , has a great picnic area around the lift lock, very good visitor centre with great services, also there is a two hours cruise that passes through the lift lock. If you like engineering structures, do not miss this !!!!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very cool piece of architecture. One of eight lift locks in the world. This one states that it is the tallest. Don't just walk around at the bottom. Be sure to explore all the stairs and go up to the top. It's totally worth it. There are historic signs posted that help you appreciate it for what it is. Definitely a must stop place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really interesting and well maintained place! Parks Canada has a building beside the lift locks, full of historical information. There is a little movie theater, a museum, and staff available for any questions you might have. There is also a washroom! Surrounded by well maintained public areas, it's a nice place for a picnic... at the very least. If you're lucky, you'll get to see the locks in action as boats traveling up and down the river use the locks...as they were when they were first engineered and built! Apparently there are only 8 of these locks in the world! Kids and adults alike will learn and enjoy visiting here! There is also a gift shop.
