It's too bad D'ville is such a long haul from my part of the province. I imagine the summer exploration would be interesting around there.


 

 

Aboot 10 hours for me.

Once you get there, you can do aerial tours via either BlackFly Air, or Mosquito Air Tours :-)

Ox, that is the Magpie river, behind the house. we are 4 houses west of the gas station. Ski

Yeah, that's what I decided.

It's just that in the pic that the water looks so much closer than it really is.

Slushy spot just on the other side right there too...

Great pics Nunz. Swift Rapids is the deepest single chambered lock on the Trent system. If I remember correctly it's 47 feet from upper water level to lower.

For comparison I checked the Ptbo lift locks. The height there is 64 feet.

 

Someone mentioned a lock being removed. How could that be done?

Agreed but the lift lock is a different type of lock. I wonder how it compares to Kirkfield lift lock in height?

They were trying to decide what to do upstream from lock 45. They could put in lock 44 or build the marine railway. They decided on the railway instead of a lock. Most still call it 44.

Yes, I didn't mean to sound like I was correcting you.

 

According to Wiki', Kirkfield lift lock is 48 feet.

Flight locks are a series of locks proximate to each other. Enter, rise, door opens, rise again. Almost like climbing stairs  They still exist on the TSW.

 

Thanks for pointing out where the flight locks were converted to a lift lock, CC.

 

Great summer / winter pic, Nunz.
