The Lift Lock is one of Peterborough’s main tourist attractions. Not only because it’s a working part of the Trent-Severn waterway, but also because of its architectural heritage.

I’ve driven by, and driven through it hundreds of times but it wasn’t until I actually walked up beside it that I realized how massive it really is…

Here are a few facts about the structure:

And warnings for the boaters:

And moving up the hill to the road is the tunnel that goes through the locks. It’s a single lane road and can make for some fun times going through in bad weather. Myself, I tend to take the long way around in the winter. :)

I’ve never been through on a boat yet, but plan to change that this summer. There’s a tour boat that runs through daily and I plan for me and my camera to be on it at least once. :)

For more great scenes from around the world visit My World Tuesday. And don’t’ forget Ruby Tuesday for all things red!

Have a wonderful, incredible, and creative day!
