Highest hydraulic Lift Lock in the world. Huge tourist attraction

The dual lifts are the highest hydraulic boat lifts in the world, with a lift of 19.8 m! As a child, my Dad used to take me through them in the canoe (after paddling 20 km)! I felt dwarfed by the monster boats going down with us.

The Peterborough Lift Lock was designated a national historic site of Canada because it is the highest hydraulic lift lock in the world.

The biggest liftlock in the world I believe. You can watch the boats go through or take the liftlock cruise which will take you through the locks. Drinks and food are served on the boat as well. Best to reserve.
