My Ontario-Trent Severn Waterway - Kirkfield Lift Lock - Ontario
One of two lift locks in Ontario, Peterborough Hydraulic Lift Lock and The historic Kirkfield Lift Lock. The Kirkfield Lift Lock is located a few kilometres north of the Village of Kirkfield, Ontario. The Kirkfield Lift Lock is the second highest hydraulic lift lock in the world with a lift of 15 metres (49 ft). The lock is situated at the highest point along the Waterway at 256.20 meters (840.5 ft) above sea level. Most boaters prefer to stay on the lower reach to avoid the stairs and gain easy access to the washrooms.

Peterborough Lift Lock - The Highest of it's Type in The World!
A quick stop at the Peterborough Lift Lock, in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, along the 240 mile long Trent Severn Waterway.
The Peterborough Lift Lock is the highest of it's type in the world, with an average lift of 65'. It is also only one of five of it's type in the world, with one other being at Kirkfield, also along the Trent Severn Waterway. This is also the largest un-reinforced concrete structure in the world! Not bad for a 113 years of age :-)
