Driving Winnipeg - Downtown to Lockport, Manitoba, Canada (Henderson Hwy)
Lockport is a small unincorporated community in Manitoba, Canada located just 28 km north of the city of Winnipeg. The community is a part of both the Rural Municipalities of St. Andrews (west of the river), and St. Clements (east of the river).
It is the site of ancient agricultural inhabitation. Flocks of the North American White Pelican are readily seen as are Bald Eagles. Double Crested Cormorants, and many other land and water birds.
The Red River Floodway joins the Red River just down river from the dam. The bridge and locks at Lockport (completed in 1910), submerged the St. Andrews Rapids (a natural obstruction to the south) in order to make the Red River navigable through to Lake Winnipeg. The Red River Floodway joins the Red River just north of the dam. A small Provincial Park is located on the east bank of the river at Lockport and a federal park is located on the west bank.
Lockport is also known for having some of the best fishing in the world to both humans and birds. Specifically, the North Red River running through Lockport is known for some of the best fishing for trophy channel catfish. Lockport is an ancient settlement, predating European history by thousands of years. It is one of the oldest known settlements in Canada.

Niagara Falls, New York: Top 5 Things to Do
Of course a visit to Niagara Falls New York starts with a look at the powerful falls and a boat ride in Maid of the Mist. But there is plenty to see beyond this natural wonder. We head to both a charming French Bistro and the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute for some good eats. Plus, for some more cultural and history come along as we visit Old Fort Niagara and then head on a Lockport Locks Boat Cruise along the hand dug Erie Canal.
