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 :-)
