What a relaxing day trip to the Peterborough & Trent Hills area!

Start with a visit to Ferris Provincial Park and experience an adrenaline rush on the park's suspension bridge. Spanning a deep gorge, the bridge offers unparalleled views of the surrounding forested landscape. As you walk across the swaying bridge, you'll feel a sense of both excitement and serenity from the natural splendor that surrounds you.

This is also where you will get to enjoy your boxed picnic lunch that is included with your tour package. An email will be sent to all registered passengers about 2 weeks before the tour, requesting their preferred option for the boxed lunch. A vegetarian and gluten-free option will be available.

And then we depart to the Peterborough marina and board our boat for a 2-hour gentle, narrated sightseeing cruise through the world's highest hydraulic lift locks on the Trent-Severn Waterway. Imagine the entire boat with all the passengers being lifted 65 feet above the city!

Lift Locks

Enjoy this 2-hour sightseeing cruise as you are entertained by the Captain’s colourful commentary on the history of Peterborough and the Trent Severn Waterway. The tour takes us across Little Lake, past the Peterborough Centennial Fountain and into the City of Peterborough portion of the 114-year-old lock system. The first traditional lock raises the boat 12 feet. The highlight of the trip however is where you go up and over the Peterborough Liftlock, the world’s highest hydraulic Liftlock which lifts the boat 65 feet or 19.8m above the city!

Look carefully at the photo above and you will see the sightseeing boat, complete with passengers on the right hand side of the liftlock half way up to the top!
