Rideau Canal & Waterway Jones Falls Locks Ontario Canada. Fascinating!!
Jones Falls, where the boats go up or down the river. A special kind of water life called a lock.
How the lock works?
- boats in
- gate close
- water release in the lock chamber
- as the water rise, the boats in lock chamber rise as well
- If the water level in the lock chamber is the same level as canal above then, gate open
Same as going down, but instead of filling in water, they let out the water
Boats rise and fall almost 60 feet via a set of four canal locks, and a dam. It was built with large sandstone blocks that were quarried approximately 2.5 miles inland from the north end of the lake, near Elgin, Ontario.
Jones Falls is the oldest continuously operated canal in North America. Most of the locks are still operated by hand, using the same mechanisms that were used to operate the locks in 1832.
The Rideau Canal is a series of rivers, lakes and connecting locks and canals that form a continuous waterway from Kingston to Ottawa, in eastern Ontario, Canada.
Very fascinating with locks. It’s amazing to see the boats slowly rise in a lock when being filled with water. And it just as amazing as the boats go down as the water let out.
The park is beautifully maintained. There are picnic tables and several historic buildings to visit. Also, a short walk takes you to a curved stone dam that was the largest in the world when it was built.
It is always a pleasure to visit this historic park

Great Getaways: Rider / Inglis Falls - Ontario Epic Ride
From Great Getaways #10007 Ontario Epic Ride
Visit our Travel Planner for this trip!
One of three waterfalls that surround the City of Owen Sound, Inglis Falls is the best known and most visited. Situated in the heart of the 200-hectare Inglis Falls Conservation Area, Inglis Falls is an 18 metre high cascade, created by the Sydenham River meeting the edge of the Niagara Escarpment. The erosive power of the water has carved a deep gorge at the base of the falls. On a clear day you can see down the valley into the City of Owen Sound and out to the Owen Sound harbour.
CANADA FISHING TRIP ????????
We went to Canada and did a little bit of fishing! We didn't catch any monsters but we did catch a lot! We eat fish like crazy!! The walleye was out of this world!! First day I left my camera gear at camp!! My bad!! Second day me and my brother Dan went to a chain of lakes and fished out of a canoe. Then that night I didn't get anything recorded, it was crazy windy. The last day the camera audio didn't work in the morning....stupid me. Then that night I got a couple fish on camera!

Lake Opinicon Resort and the Mysterious Sunken House
A visit to Elgin Ontario July 2015
The Rideau Canal came about as a safety precaution. The folks living north of the St. Lawrence River feared, in the 1820s that the Americans would prevent their use of the river in the area of the 1000 islands. So, to bypass the problem, Colonel By constructed this remarkable waterway between the Ottawa River and Kingston (with access to Lake Ontario and the whole Great Lakes inland sea).
Today, the Rideau is a National Heritage site, actively used by watercraft large and small (jet skis for example). There are a variety of locks, most still with wooden doors and hand-cranks to open/close them, and to adjust the water sluices in the doors.
Take a tour, and share the fun of an Elgin Days parade. The stained glass windows of the United Church of Canada in Elgin are lovely. So, too, are the people there.

Travel Planner -
Where the water and rocks meet, you will feel the rush as the river flows over the escarpments edge. So appealing that they merit their own tour, these special places are often just a short drive or hike from busy roads. Host Tom O'Boyle will visit all 7 of Grey County's waterfalls on the 115 mile self-guiding driving tour.
