Once you get there, you can do aerial tours via either BlackFly Air, or Mosquito Air Tours 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

How could that be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catinental couch Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Don’t know the exact measurements but the Peterborough lift lock is much taller than the Kirkfield liftlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone mentioned a lock being removed. How could that be done? 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catinental couch Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Lock 28 and 29 were changed from flight locks to a lift lock so 29 is no longer. They made the lift lock height equal the height of the two flight locks. Wife found that on trentsevern.ca . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinental couch Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 You are welcome Canuck but the credit goes to the wife. She remembered something about it happening so she researched it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
